A localized electrical fire occurred onboard the Magellan spacecraft during a power systems check at the Kennedy Space Centers (KSC) Spacecraft Encapsulation Facility (SAEF-2). The fire, which occurred while a technician worked within the spacecraft, was quickly extinguished without injuries and with only or damage to Magellan. The KSC fire department also responded but was not required to enter the SAEF-2 clean room environment. The incident was being investigated by NASA. (NASA Releases 88-141 and 88-153).
