NASA continues Space program sets shuttle plans
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — NASA said yesterday that it planned 19 space shuttle flights in the next three years and announced a schedule of 49 satellite launches on unmanned rockets that would demonstrate how thoroughly the agency has ceased its total reliance on the shuttle.
The first schedule in a year shows five fewer shuttle flights through October 1990, a reduction caused partially by a delay in the first post-Challenger mission from February to June next year.
The schedule shows that through 1995 about 30 non-military payloads originally destined to be carried into orbit by the shuttle will go on unmanned rockets. NASA, however, still has to seek money from Congress to finance most of those rockets.
"The manifest reflects the high priority assigned to major science payloads," the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. "In
1989, five NASA science missions, some with international cooperation, will be launched. Four will fly on the shuttle."
Since the accident, the space program has come to a virtual halt.
The booster rockets were the cause of the Challenger explosion that killed seven passengers on board in January 1986.
Many experts said they thought the first flight date, June 2, 1988, was optimistic because of NASA's tight schedule in rebuilding the booster rockets and in outfitting the shuttle fleet with redesigned engines.
Before Challenger, NASA was phasing out its unmanned rockets and was planning to use only the shuttle to carry cargo into space. But the unanticipated turn to fund expendable rockets to cease reliance on a single system.
Seven of the first 19 shuttle flights through 1990 will carry secret military cargoes, the same as planned last year.
Bloomingdale's may feature Kansas food in May ad campaign
The Associated Press
"TOPEKA — A Bloomingdale's Department Store official said yesterday that it would be a couple of weeks before a decision was made whether to promote Kansas products in 17 of its stores, including the one in New York City.
Bill Lane, Bloomingdale's group food manager, said a five-person team of store officials that arrived in Kansas last Sunday have interviewed more than 50 Kansas food producers. The team had visited Wichita, Dodge City, Manhattan and Hutchinson before arriving in Topeka.
The Kansas promotion would be in May if department store officials decided to go ahead with it, Lane said. He and other store officials met with the governor late in the morning, where all exchanged compliments and comments.
"It's sure great to have you here," Hayden said. "We're anxious to put this promotion together, if you feel the same way about it."
The store officials had considerable praise for Kansas, where they have been sampling food products characteristic of Kansas.

The group was especially impressed by its visit to a catfish farm.
"We didn't even know you guys farmed catfish," said Mike Regina, a food buyer.
