shuttle briefs
By The Associated Press
Air mail
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Packed in 10 containers in Challeng
er's cargo bay are 260,000 envelopes,
each bearing a $9.35 stamp. The U.S.
Postal Service plans to sell the enve
lopes, known as postal covers, to
collectors for $15.35 each and split the
proceeds with the National Aeronau
tics and Space Administration. .
If all the covers are sold, they will
bring in more than $3.8 million.
The stamp, intended primarily for
Express Mail, shows the head of an
American eagle illuminated by a full
moon. Each is the size of a block of
four regular-size stamps and mea
sures 1.77 by 1.59 inches.
The cachet design on the front of
each cover is a color replica of the
eighth shuttle flight's crew patch. On
the back is NASA's 25-year logo. The
cancellation on the front bears the
originally scheduled launch date for
the flight, Aug. 14, which also is the
stamps issue date. After the flight,
the actual launch and landing dates
will be printed on the covers.
The covers, in souvenir folders, will
be sold by mail order only with a limit
of one per customer. Orders and
checks should be sent to Shuttle
Flight Folder, Philatelic Sales Divi-.
sion, Washington, D.C., 20265. The
order date will be announced after
the flight, with letters postmarked
before that to be returned unopened.
Waste in space
--- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Space shuttle Challenger has a new
toilet for its third trip into space,
replacing a unit that failed on its
flight in June.
A microswitch failure disabled a
so-called slinger motor that helps
dispose of waste in the unit, and
technicians decided to replace, the
entire contraption.
Astronaut Richard Truly, com
mander of the mission, said his crew
is ready to make repairs if there is
anothey potty breakdown. "We have
developed an inflight maintenance

procedure so that we could go in and
rewire it and fix it ourselves if that
particular failure happens again," he
told a preflight news conference.
Shuttle seniority
--- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Dr. William Thornton, Challenger's
house doctor and at 54 the oldest man
ever to fly in space, says he hopes to
get sick while the ship is in orbit.
Thornton, a physician, was added
to the flight as was Dr. Norman
Thagard on Challenger's June mis
sion to study space sickness, which
has bothered nine of the 21 shuttle
astronauts who have flown.
"I would consider it a boon if I
became sick like the others," Thorn
ton said recently. "I would consider
that a plus because I will have more
time to look at myself than anyone
else."
Thornton said his research in orbit
would concentrate on the adaptation
of the human nervous system to
weightlessness. He and Thagard will
analyze their findings and advance
their research another step in Sep
tember 1984, when they are to fly as
crewmates on shuttle Flight 18.
Thornton has waited a long time to
fly in space, having been named a
physician-astronaut in 1967. "I'm
tired of being a bridesmaid," he said
recently. .
Perfect record
--- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Richard Truly is the first astronaut
who has flown in all of the first three
space shuttles. And he would like to
pilot all of those yet to come.
He participated in landing tests of
the prototype, engineless shuttle En
terprise after it was released from
the back of a Boeing 747 in the late
19705. He served as pilot to Com
mander Joe Engle on Columbia's
second flight in 1981, and he is com
mander of the current flight of Chal
lenger.
"I hope I get a crack at flying all
the shuttles," he said recently. Dis
covery is to start flights next year,
Atlantis in 1985, and other shuttles
may still be built.
