Marshall Space Flight Center had issued a request for proposals for an x-ray source system for the x-ray telescope facility being constructed at MSFC for use in the High Energy Astronomy Observatory (HEAD) project, MSFC announced. The proposed contract would include design, fabrication, assembly, preliminary in-plant checkout, installation, and verification. The contractor would also have the option of building a cover for the system. Under the terms of the contract, the x-ray source system would be installed on a 40.6-cm-by39.3-cm steel flange by 20 Feb. (MSFC Release 75-93)
Flat conductor cable developed by NASA for rocket and spacecraft wiring was being installed in Marshall Space Flight Center's experimental solar house, MSFC announced. The surface-mounted cable was being considered for commercial and residential applications, to provide a wiring system that was lower in cost, easier to install, adaptable to all types of wall construction, and as safe as or safer than conventional roundwire electrical systems. Flat conductor cable could be routed under all paneling, tile, and carpet, and the low voltage flat cable for lights and receptacles could be routed under wallpaper or simply painted. The cable had already been installed successfully in an MSFC conference room and in six apartments in Yonkers, N.Y., as a joint effort between NASA and the New York State Urban Development Corp.
