NASA announced its Integrated System Preliminary Design Review for Space Station Freedom was completed. Preliminary figures for June 1990 showed Freedom's weight to be 143,000 pounds lighter than the allocated limit of 512,000 pounds and that the housekeeping power limit of 45 kilowatts was exceeded by 15 kilowatts. A summer-long resources scrub reduced weight estimates by 130,000 pounds and housekeeping power by 13 kilowatts. "What this means," said Deputy Manager Marc Bensimon, is that the design is maturing and converging." (NASA Release 90-165)
