The results allowed scientists
to measure more precisely than
ever before the abundance of
atomic oxygen and nitrogen in
the stratosphere.
Donahue says a crisis de-
veloped when the first attempt
to collect data produced no re-
flected signal. "I was dismay-
ed," Donahue says, speculating
that either the retroreflector
was damaged or Astronaut
Thomas Stafford pointed his in-
struments in the wrong direc-
tion.
NOT WANTING to risk the
success of the second and third
attempts, Donahue says he
quickly asked the Soviets to
somersault their spacecraft 90
degrees so they could fire the
ultraviolet beams off a second
retroreflector intended for an
entirely different purpose. "The
fact that it was there was a
lifesaver," he notes.
The cosmonauts' maneuver-
made the next two "data takes"

troscopy and revealed for the'
first time the abundance of
atomic nitrogen in the upper
atmosphere to be about one
atom in every thousand.
Those elements, the professor
explains, are related to the sub-
stances that control the protec-
tive layer of ozone in our at-'
mosphere which scientists have
recently warned is being de-
pleted to dangerously low lev-
els.
THE EXPERIMENT
also proved the feasibility of a
similar project planned for the
Space Shuttle, the United
States' plane-like, reusable ve-
hicle designed to carry out vir-
tually all NASA's space pro-
jects in the 1980s:
In fact, Donahue's experi-
ment was first conceived dur-
ing a summer study by the
National Academy of Sciences
which the space agency com-
missioned to come up with
scientific uses of the shuttle.
"In the middle of that study,"
Donahue says, "NASA ran into
a crisis in developing a payload
(for the Apollo - Soyuz mis-
sion)." Because of the relative-
ly short period of time between
the agreement establishing the
joint space flight and the mis-
sion itself, the agency did not
have enough time to develop a
"THIS SORT of thing seemed
like a natural," Donahue says,
especially since the Apollo-
Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) was
one of the rare instances in
which two spacecraft would fly
together.
But Donahue reveals that
NASA was forced to abandon{
their high standardstfor "relia-
bility and quality analysis
(R and QA)" during the joint
flight, or his $1.5 million ex-
periment would have carried a
pricetag of "at least $50 mil-
lion." Some 20 experiments
flew aboard the U.S. - Soviet
flight, with a total cost on the
American side of about $20
million.
In one cost - cutting decision,
Donahue says, lamps required
for his experiment were built
by two draft dodgers in Canada.
Other equipment was used that
had simply been "lying around
on the shelf."
AND IF NASA's ambitious
shuttle project is to be a suc-
cess, Donahue warns, the agen-
cy must continue to settle for
reduced R. and QA. "Houston
has had an attitude toward
science that is basically anti-
science," Donahue says, ex-
plaining that the Apollo and A-
STP projects were both con-
