Two Soviet cosmonauts, launched last week in a new Soyez T-5 rocket, reactivated systems aboard the new Salyut 7 space station after linking with it 26 hours after launch. The astronauts were said to be feeling fine and the station was reported to be operating normally. In American space news, Jack Lousma, commander of STS-3 said that he and Gordon Fullerton experienced normal amounts of radiation during their flight aboard the shuttle. NASA is concerned that long exposures to space, such as might be encountered during stints on space stations, could endanger the lives of the astronauts with respect to radiation.
