NASA granted a small Alexandria firm, Global Outpost, rights to find ways of using empty Space Shuttle fuel tanks, used to carry 500,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen for Space Shuttle launch and initial insertion into orbit, as a platform for military, civilian, and commercial experiments. The agreement followed a June 1988 NASA announcement requesting commercial and academic uses for expended tanks. (W Times, Jan 29/90; NASA Release 90-14)
