Mexican Satellite Error Cuts Off Banks, Pagers Several Mexican companies, banks, radio and television stations were left incommunicado Wednesday after one of the country's older satellites lost power. Reuters reported that a spokesman for Satellites Mexicanos, or SatMex, said Solidaridad One suffered an abrupt loss of power early in the afternoon. SatMex had not determined exactly how many clients were affected, but it was clear that the malfunction disrupted service to cable television and radio stations, along with cellular telephone, pager and DTH customers. One Mexican TV station reported that the satellite error caused ‘chaos' in banks and the Stock Exchange. SatMex is jointly owned by Loral Space Communications, Mexico's Telefonica Autrey and the Mexican government, which is expected to sell off its 25 percent during the next four years. The oldest of three orbiting satellites operated by SatMex, Solidaridad One was launched in November 1993. Its coverage extends from the southern U.S. to South America. back to today's headlines

Re: Safety Agent Man -Delta 3 upper stage . . The Delta 3 does not use the Centaur upper stage like the Titan. The only thing in common is that the Delta 3 upper stage uses the Pratt & Whitney RLB10-2 engine, which is a variation of the RL-10 engine used in the Centaur. The RL-10 has been around for quite awhile, and has a proven track record. It is very unlikely that the woes of the Titan launches have any implications for the Delta 3, but the fact that Boeing is delaying the launch for a review shows that they will leave no stone unturned to insure a successful launch.
