Usaf Studying Space Tool Development

Dayton, Ohio—Development of tools for the maintenance, repair and assembly of spacecraft will depend largely on the use of test beds in space to define problem areas.

Letters

Mars Dept. I cannot express to you the unmitigated disgust I feel at reading some statements printed in AW&ST about the manned Mars mission. First of all, I find the statement ridiculous that the Voyager mission “could return all information of conceivable value” (AW&ST Aug. 9, p. 25).
