NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, announced that it had selected NSI Technology Services Corporation, Fairfax, Virginia, for negotiations leading to the award of a cost-plus-award fee contract for integration and test support services. The contract, which covered seven years, had an estimated value of $200 million and would pro-vide services to all of Goddard and portions of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Virginia.

The Washington Post reported that NASA had requested an 18 percent increase in 1994 for aeronautics research. If granted this amount would be the largest jump for aeronautics in decades. Increased funding would be used to increase funding on a "environmentally friendly" supersonic jetliner, new materials and methods to make routine air travel safer and cheaper, advances in supercomputers, and upgrades to old wind tunnels to be used by U.S. companies for testing.
