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" a success, Donahue says. The experiment confirmed earlier but less reliable measurements set of experiments in their usual of oxygen taken by mass spec- slow, studied manner. 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- ing, "you must take into con- think the Shadow is coming off sideration how much time the the nostA gic trend in the coun- ceived for political purposes. artist has put into it.
