Aviation Week & Space Technology reported that Rocketdyne officials had decided that widespread modification of Space Shuttle flight engine welds made with welding rods from a suspect lot would not be necessary. Last month the company reported that it might have to straighten a large number of welds, but it had now decided to limit the modifications to an area of hydrogen line located near the base of the engine nozzles. The modified engines would be reinstalled on Orbiter 102 by mid-March, the magazine said. (Av Wk, Jan 14/80, 21)
