A command that was to Cut of the malfunctioning engine went instead to an adjacent engine one that appeared to be working satisfactorily. But the reason that on engine on the second stage failed is still unknown Nas Asaid in a statement. The second engine problem developed when the orbiting third stage failed to restart to shoot off toward an imaginary Moon. Nasa said there apparently was a leak i one of the propellant lines and that could have resulted in insufficient fuel for the critical restart.
