The Houston Chronicle yesterday reported that an Air Force
spokesman had said that the second stage of the IUS that
was to deliver TDRS-1 to its orbit failed because of a
faulty steering cone.  The cone, which is packed up in
separate, nested segments during the first stage burn,
is supposed to unfold and deploy itself for the second
stage burn.
