...Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., and in Houston and Cape Kennedy, scientists and engineers held round-the-clock meetings and nation-spanning conference calls to discuss possible repair techniques. One proposal was to have an astronaut poke a giant umbrella-like device out of a hatch and open it above the bald spot...
Against the UMass stickmen today at 3 p.m., coach Bruce Munro is hoping that the spring heat wave that has incubated eight-man crew shells, red sox, and marathoners will somehow hatch his embryonic Harvard offense, which has averaged only four goals a game through six losses...
...manned space effort after an interruption of nearly two years. During the last manned mission, in June 1971, three cosmonauts lived in Salyut 1 for almost 24 days-longer than anyone had previously spent in space. But the three crewmen were killed on their way back to earth; the hatch of their Soyuz spacecraft leaked-perhaps jolted by the retrorocket firing prior to re-entry-resulting in a fatal loss of oxygen. Since then Soviet engineers have redesigned the hatch to prevent a recurrence of the tragedy. As an added precaution, the cosmonauts will also wear their pressure suits...
...consultations eventually are supposed to hatch three main deals: 1) the fertilizer transaction; 2) development by the Soviets, with the help of U.S. technology and capital, of natural gas fields around Yakutsk in Siberia; and 3) construction by Americans of a hotel and trade center in Moscow. All three projects face high hurdles. The hotel-trade center deal is rather vague, but Hammer hopes to put together a U.S. consortium that would arrange all design, construction and financing and turn over completed buildings to the Soviets. The fertilizer transaction, by his estimate, would require an investment of $100 million...
...photographic effort. During the flight of Gemini 9 in 1966, he took a dramatic "walk" in space as his ship circled the earth. But most of the shots taken of Cernan by his fellow astronaut Tom Stafford were lost when a film pack accidently floated out of the open hatch and disappeared in space. Only one spacewalk picture-showing a partial view of Cernan-was returned to earth. That made Cernan more determined than ever to come home with a superior and complete photographic record of Apollo...
