January 16: A Japanese-German attempt to put a space capsule into orbit for five days of experiments failed, sending it tumbling through the atmosphere where it broke up and burned over the Pacific after two or three orbits. The $60 million "Express" satellite was supposed to land in Australia's outback Saturday for retrieval. (H Chron, Jan 17/95; Reuters, Jan 16/95)
