POSSIBLE SOYUZ MODULE SEPARATION PROBLEM UNDER SCRUTINY
-------------------------------------------------------

While NASA managers await the results of a Russian engineering analysis to
determine what went wrong during a returning Soyuz capsule's steep,
off-course descent from the international space station Saturday, space
experts around the world are discussing what may have been a much more
serious problem than initially believed.

CAUSE OF LAST MONTH'S PROTON FAILURE DETERMINED
-----------------------------------------------

The Russian State Commission investigating the AMC-14 failure of a Proton
Breeze M launch has traced the cause to the rupture of the gas duct
between the gas generator and the propellant pump turbine in the Breeze M
main engine.
