Early this morning though during engine check-outs, the engine 3 backup engine controller did not come up as expected.  The problem was narrowed down to a circuit breaker or switch. Transient contamination was narrowed down as the issue which sometimes happens according to Steve Payne, NASA test director. Recycling the breaker and switch solved the issue.\"<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/dc35e_arrow.gif\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"> <b>Marc 's Update: <\/b> It seems that backup controller problem which NASA thought was fixed is still a problem.
