CC 41 [EEO] (1) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Centaur shut down 4s early during 2nd burn due to RL10 fuel inlet valve that failed to seal after first burn. LH2 leaked during coast, causing a shortfall during second burn. Planned 1,000 x 1,200 km x 63.4 deg. Actual 842 x 1186 km x 63.35 deg.
