Space When 180 Oriental hornets are rocketed into Earth's orbit during the summer of 1986, Tel Aviv University Prof. Jacob Ishay is convinced, there is no chance that they will escape in- side the space shuttle. They will not sting the as- tronauts with their poisonous venom. The hornets, says Ishay, will be contained securely inside a metal locker. The hornets will be sent into space for a study of how they adapt to near-weightless condi- tions — an environment in which gravity is a thousandth or less of that on Earth. By study- ing the insects' behavior Ishay hopes to learn how humans can cope better with space sickness, an unusual malady that has caused more than one - third of the astronauts to suffer from headaches, nausea and_weak- ness. professor _ of a Ishay, entomology at Tel Aviv Univer- sity, met with University of Pennsylvania biologists recently to discuss his research. During an interview, he said Oriental hornets were being used because of their unusual ability — not found in humans or other mammals — to detect tiny amounts of gravitation and react to them. Among the questions Ishay hopes to answer as a result of his hornet mission are: • Will the hornets work to- gether, as they do on Earth, or will they become disoriented and abandon their cooperative instincts? • W ill the hornet's unhatched young, or pupae, still emit a "hunger signal" — a rhythmic beat emerging from the comb when they are hungry — in space? Ishay, 54, said the hornets were expected to be sent up sometime between July and Oc- tober 1986. His shuttle project will mark the first time that the Israel Space Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have collaborated on a space mission. Ishay said the hornets would be enclosed in a box about the size of a large typewriter case that will be stationed on the middeck, near the front of the space shuttle. Ten hornets would be enclosed in each of 18 compartments in- side the metal locker. The tem- perature will be kept at about 84 degrees — a condition the hornets are used to in their natural habitat of the Middle East, East Africa and India. Ishay said he was not worried that the hornets would die in space, because of their unusual abilities to adapt. In laboratory experiments, they have survived up to 500 times the gravity found on Earth, he said. Contrary to the case on some past shuttle flights, NASA offi- cials are not requiring the Tel Aviv University professor to remove the hornets' stingers — even though the venom of 40 to 50 Oriental hornets is potent enough to kill a person. "Oriental hornets are one of the most dangerous types of hornets," Ishay said. "But don't worry. There is no chance that they will be able to escape."

Of the close to $500 million expended for this purpose, some 60 per- cent came from the government, and 40 percent from com- munities abroad. The undertak- ing has been given great public- ity. But how successful has it really been? One study, limited only to the administrative structure and procedural operations of the project and carried out by an internal controller's committee of the Jewish Agency itself, was said to expose glaring deficien- cies. However, that report was locked up in a cabinet and not published. So it was good news when the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology, located at the Technion, was commissioned to undertake an objective survey. A staff of eight professionals has spent more than two years on the undertaking. The Neaman Institute scien- tists, headed by research coor- dinator Prof. M. Hill, decided to concentrate on four areas: Who benefitted from all the money spent? To what extent was there participation by the residents of the areas involved? Did the project indeed make a contribu- tion, or did it simply relieve the government of tasks it should have undertaken anyhow (known as budget displace- ment)? What changes have taken place in the neighbor- hoods? Ten representative com- munities were selected for study. Ramle, sponsored by De- troit, was not one of these, but the overall findings are similar. At the outset it -was noted that the project officials had a conception of priorities different from those of the local residents. The professionals rated as first in importance the raising of the residents' self-image and out-
