NASA's last Atlas-Centaur rocket was extensively damaged in a launch pad accident. A $4-million fuel tank was destroyed when it was hit by a work platform. Four General Dynamics Space Division workers were treated for minor injuries. The launch of a military satellite, scheduled for liftoff aboard the Atlas-Centaur rocket in the fall of 1987, was grounded indefinitely. (LA Times, July 14/87)
