Default Weather spacecraft falls over during assembly

An accident during assembly resulted in a NOAA weather satellite
falling over on its side on Sept. 9 at a Lockheed Martin plant in
Sunnyvale, California. I don't recall seeing anything about this
in the news media; I found out about from a science magazine. Here's
a link to an article and photograph:

I don't recall seeing anything about this
in the news media;


It was covered, perhaps not well, but it was mentioned. Science & space
websites covered it well at the time.

Anyone know of any updates to this saga?
