U S Opposes Space Arms Race at UN Conference
NASA administrator James Beggs said the United States will press at Unispace 82 for no arms race in outer space. He warned that militarization could raise instability and hinder peaceful space use and urged dealing with the issue through the UN Committee on Disarmament. The Vienna talks may shift to COPUOS, which the U S opposes.

Sensor error blamed for two rockets lost at sea
NASA deputy administrator Hans Mark told a House committee that a calibration mistake on two sensors caused half the parachute lines on the two $18 million solid fuel boosters to deploy during the Columbia shuttle launch. The sensors, meant to trigger on impact, opened from chute deployment shock, sending the boosters to the Atlantic bottom. He said the next shuttle will land near Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the return in November.
