Aviation Week and Space Technology reported that the presidential board are "expected to recommend a significant redesign of the [SRB] seals-changes that will take 18 to 24 months to incorporate if they require new steel solid rocket booster forgings". I was incorrect when I earlier said that the decision had been made to redesign the seals. Re MIR. (Soviet Space Station) AVW&ST reports that is on course to rendezvous with the earlier Salyut 7, and is expected to dock with it. Seems a might smarter way to design a station thus, than to design it to be built all at once as [I think] we are doing. -- Kurt W. Allen 3M Center ihnp4!mmm!allen
