The problem with the liquid apogee engine was later blamed on a piece of cloth accidentally left in a fuel line leading up to the engine while the line was taken apart for repair during the manufacture of the satellite. The cloth was likely placed in the line to prevent impurities from entering the

To solve the problem, the perigee altitude was raised to 4,700 km (2,900 mi) using twelve firings of the smaller
