THE BAYTOWN SUN
Monday afternoon landing
Computer replaced, Atlantis coming home
Monday, May 8, 1989
SPACE. CENTER, Houston
(AP) — Atlantis streaked
toward a landing in the Califor-
nia desert Monday after the
astronauts replaced one of the
shuttle’s main computers, which
failed during the mission’s last
full day in space.
Although the problem posed no
threat to the flight, ground con-
trollers decided to take no
chances for today’s re-entry and
touchdown and asked the
astronauts to install a spare
computer.
“We just don’t have the con-
fidence to run with it for entry,”
flight director Ron Dittemore
said.
After the repair job, the five
astronauts began stowing their
gear in preparation for today’s
fiery dash through the Earth’s
atmosphere and landing at Ed-
wards Air Force Base, Calif. The
touchdown in the Mojave Desert
was scheduled for 3:43 p.m.
EDT, and the forecast called for
favorable weather.
The computer problem was
the only glitch reported during
the four-day mission, whose
primary task was the deploy-
ment of the Magellan robot pro-
be to Venus.
Crew members dropped their
other work Sunday to concen-
trate on the 4>/2-hour computer
installation, opting to go to sleep
an hour later to finish the task.
“We have completed the IFM
(in-flight maintenance),” Atlan-
tis Commander David Walker
radioed to Mission Control.
“Dave, we concur and we send
our congratulations. Good
work,” Mission Control com-
municator Tammy Jemigan
replied. “We wanted to point out
that this is the first time that
such a changeout has ever taken
place on orbit.”
“Well, we’re glad it worked so
well,’’Walker said.
The other crew members are
pilot Ronald Grabe, and mission
specialists Norman Thagard,
Mark Lee and Mary Cleave.
A relatively small crowd of
100,000 was expected at the lan-
ding site because it is on a week-
day, NASA spokeswoman Nancy
Lovato said. An estimated
460,000 people watched
Discovery’s landing March 18 —
a Saturday.
About an hour before landing,
Walker and Grabe were to fire
two rockets on the back of Atlan-
tis to slow the shuttle and allow it
to drop into the atmosphere to
begin its return home.
Sunday’s failure occurred in
one of four operating computers
that control and monitor all
systems aboard the spacecraft
and actually fly it most of the
time. Also aboard are a backup
computer and a spare.
Opposition says Panama election rigged
PANAMA CITY, Panama
(AP) — Opposition leaders call-
" ed for a massive march today to
protest the alleged theft by Gen.
Antonio Manuel Noriega’s forces
■ of a presidential election they
claimed their candidate won
decisively.
~ The government also claimed
•’ victory in Sunday’s largely
peaceful balloting, though of-
ficial results had not yet been
released.
Turnout was high and many
, people had to wait in line several
” hours to cast ballots for presi-
' dent, two vice presidgnts^nd-the
■^National Assembly In what was
considered a referendum on
Noriega’s hold on power.
The opposition claimed that
r-the 15,000-strong Defense
i Forces, which Noriega heads,
j had perpetrated widespread
^fraud, with many soldiers voting
more than once. Some foreign
observers reported ir-
- regularities.
“Despite all the irregularities,
the opposition has triumphed,”
„ opposition presidential can-
didate Guillermo Endara told a
-'news conference Sunday night.
He claimed to have won by a 2-
to-1 margin over Noriega’s
„ hand-picked candidate; Carlos
P.Duque.
At his news conference, Duque
,, called opposition talk of fraud
( “childish.” (A late-night com-
munique from the pro-
government coalition said, “We
can affirm that our triumph is
..decisive, just, honest and
, perfectly clear.” Government
candidates have been holding
“victory dinners” for the past
week.
Mrs. Dukakis
shares story
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -
Kitty Dukakis urged a college
graduating class to be “open and
flexible” enough to accept bad
and good times — qualities she
. used to fight her drug and
alcohol addiction.
“I’ve had to be open to the
reality that I would spend the
rest of my life recovering from
that dependency, one day at a
• time,” the wife of Massachusetts
Gov. Michael Dukakis said Sun-
day in her address to the 1989
New England Institute of
• Technology graduates.
Mrs. Dukakis, keynote
speaker at the institute’s 49th
commencement, received an
honorary doctorate. She and her
husband also received the
school’s annual America’s
Finest Award.

The government promised
results by this evening and
declared today a holiday. The
opposition called for an after-
noon protest march and
threatened a general strike.
Merchants in areas with a
tradition of political turbulence
boarded up windows and people
stocked up on food and other
necessities, recalling political
violence and general strikes of
early 1988.
The government coalition
released an exit poll of 18,136
voters that it said showed Duque
winning by a margin of 50.9 per-
cent to 44.7 percent. The opposi-
tion released an exit poll of 1,022
voters showing Endara leading
Duque 55.1 percent to 39.5 per-
cent.
In the only reported election
day violence, the Roman
Catholic Church said a Dutch
priest was seriously injured
when he was shot, apparently
accidentally, following his ar-
rest in the western province of
Chiriqui.
