NASA selects 40 investigations for Spacelab/shuttle flights

摘要

Seven experiments proposed by scientists in Belgium, Canada, France, and Japan were chosen, along with 33 investigations from the United States, to be studied and developed for a series of shuttle flights planned for the period between 1983 and 1985. The cost of the U.S. effort is expected to total about $100 million over the next five-year period. The foreign countries will fund their own investigations. The disciplines involved are astronomy, upper atmospheric physics, solar physics, and high energy astrophysics. A list of the investigators, the organizations they represent, and the names of the experiments is included.
