NASA announced that the first cooperative space flight research between NASA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was intended to help scientists better understand the effects of microgravity on the growth of human bone and muscle cells during space flight. It might also increase under-standing of changes in muscle and bone on Earth after severe injury, certain degenerative diseases, or prolonged bedrest. This research was to be a part of the April Space Shuttle mission. (NASA Release 94-55)
NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin paid a 90-minute visit to Rocketdyne's main factory in Canoga Park, California. He said the company had made some progress in correcting quality control problems that caused two Shuttle launches to be aborted seconds before liftoff and two other scheduled flights to be postponed.
