He said blastoff could be reset for 10:32 a.m. Wednesday if the contamination can be cleaned up in time. The reliable Delta booster had been scheduled to blast off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 10:42 a.m. EDT exactly 48 hours after its original launch attempt was scrubbed because of a balky computer at a West German ground station. The contamination was discovered early Saturday when workers e stack through an made a visual inspection of the access door in the nose cone before the service tower was removed.

The United States, West Germany and the United Kingdom each contributed one of the satellites that make up the approximately $80 million Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers (AMPTE) package. The complex mission is the first three-natioprobe. The satellites are designed to work in concert from two different orbits to study the interaction of the streaming solar wind and Earth's powerful magnetic field.
