Fla (AP) — NASA lost radio contact with Soviet authorities release documents on deadly missile test MOSCOW (API — In their haste to fix a Soviet hallis tit. missile so it could lx* launched on schedule, work erx made a fatal mistake. They gave the missile the signal to go, ignoring that the fuel tanks were already full. Thirty-five years after the explosion, which killed 74 peo ple. the Russian government has released the details of what went wrong during the 1960 test of the intercontinental missile. A report Thursday in the mil itary newspaper Krasnaya Zvez da said the disaster was caused by workers who. rushing to carry out the launch on schedule, were fixing a problem in the circuitry with the missile's fuel tanks already filled. An erroneous elet trie signal prematurely launched the mis sile's second phase, causing the missile to explode. The report, citing documents dec lassified this week, also sug gested military officers ignored safety rules by standing close to the missile Footage of the disaster shown on the NTV television network showed wounded officers run ning amid a sea of fire. •The !
