NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the Southern California Small Business Utilization Council were scheduled to co-sponsor the 1993 High Technology and Small Business Development Procurement Conference on March 1-2 in Los Angeles. About 200 government prime contractors, Federal agencies, and other large procurement organizations were expected to participate in the conference. (NASA Release 93-029)
NASA announced that a mysterious glitch had caused the Ulysses solar explorer spacecraft to shut down its instruments and stop sending data over the weekend. Eight of the instruments were working by the Tuesday following the shutdown, and NASA predicted that the ninth instrument would be operational within days. A similar, still unexplained malfunction occurred in 1991. Ulysses was released from a Space Shuttle in 1990 on a $750 mission to study the Sun's poles in 1994-95.
