[[James C. Fletcher]], NASA Administrator, and Dr. Alexander Hocker, [[European Space Research Organization]] Director General, held a [[Spacelab]] program review in Paris to assess the proposed [[ESRO]] design, appraise an [[ESRO]] presentation of contractor evaluation and findings, and discuss follow-on production. The review indicated that size, volume, subsystems, transportability, and operational turnaround met or exceeded design requirements. The design payload weight had been reduced from phase B results. An [[ESRO]] team with NASA support would further assess the weight, and the common payload support equipment and instrument pointing system would be studied for nine months. NASA. would give a letter of commitment to buy one flight unit with follow-on production commitment scheduled after critical design review. ''(NASA Gen Mgmt Rev Rpt, 17 June 74; NASA [[Spacelab]] Newsletter 74-5; 3 July 74)'' Edwin C. Kilgore had been appointed Deputy Associate Administrator for Center Operations, NASA announced.

''(NASA Ann, 20 May 74)'' NASA announced a 45-day $500 000 continuation of a 13 Feb. contract with [[Thiokol]] Chemical Corp. for the [[space shuttle]] solid-fueled rocket motor design study. In addition to original contract requirements, the continuation contract required that [[Thiokol]] assist NASA in identifying materials, independent of the specific final motor design, that had long-lead-time supply times.
