NASA signed an agreement with the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, NIDCD, to expand biomedical cooperation between the two agencies. The agreement was intended to be the beginning of NASA's cooperation with various institutes within the National Institutes of Health. The major goat of this collaboration was the enhancing of basic knowledge and understanding of vestibular function in both normal and clinical states. (NASA Release 92-182)
Astronomer Duncan Steel of the Anglo-Australian Observatory in Sydney warned of a possible collision between the Earth and Comet Swift-Tuttle in the year 2116. Several years would be needed to track the comet to determine its orbit with accuracy and to decide whether or not a collision is likely. (The Sun, Oct 26/92; W Times, Oct 27/92)
