NASA announced it had chosen, from more than 1000 respondents to invitations, 59 scientists (47 from the United States and 12 from the United Kingdom) to participate in the second flight of Spacelab scheduled for launch in 1981. The Solar Terrestrial Division in NASA's Office of Space Sciences, responsible for managing Spacelab 2's payload, would choose experiments to provide new data on very high energy cosmic rays; x-ray emissions in galactic clusters; diffuse cool objects in earth's galaxy; and relationships between solar activity and magnetic fields. (NASA Release 77-172; MSFC Release 77-148)
NASA announced that Kenneth S. Kleinknecht, assistant manager of the orbiter project at JSC, would begin an assignment in Paris Aug. 28 as deputy associate administrator for spaceflight (European operations) acting as senior NASA adviser to ESA on Spacelab. (NASA anno Aug 16/77)
