A history s largest space Crew soared into orbit wednesday aboard the shuttle challenger and quickly activated a Battery of experiments to Start around the clock science studies on plants animals materials and human beings. Five . Astronauts two German scientists and a dutch physicist aboard the 22nd flight of the shuttle sent Power surging into a european built space Laboratory in challenger s cargo Bay and astronaut Bonnie Dunbar re ported everything is going pretty Reinhard Furrer one of the two germans took the first ride in a sled designed to test human balance reflexes in weightlessness. He told scientists on the ground. It seemed not to be too hard on the the sled which runs on 12-foot-Long rails inside the Laboratory is designed to provoke the inner ear balance mechanism by applying acceleration forces equivalent to the Force of Earth s Gravity on four astronauts who will take turns on the device. It was not really remarkably different than on the ground said Furrer after the first test run. When the sled went Forward in the direction of my feet i Felt More experiments with the sled arc an Effort to learn More about the effect on the vestibular or inner car which pro Vides the sense of balance. Experts Hope to learn Why about half of All astronauts suffer motion sickness Early in spaceflight. The sled is one of 76 experiments jammed Inlo the 23 foot Laboratory module. Other equipment includes biological incubators seedbeds and furnaces for melting metals and glasses and for growing crystals. The challenger lifted away from Kennedy space Cen Ter precisely at noon As planned and soared into a 200 mile orbit for a we Klong science voyage. West Germany is paying the National aeronautics and space administration 464 million to Fly the experiments. German scientists Furrer and Ernst arc supervising the research on Board. Dunbar and another . Scientist astronaut Guion Bluford will assist in the experiments. A european space Agency astronaut. Dutch scientist Wubbo Ockels also is on the Crew. Veteran astronaut Henry Mansfield is the Mission com Mander. Astronauts Steven Nagel and James Buchli will share the piloting duties. The research will be directed from a science control Center at the West German town of near Munich. This Marks the first Lime another country besides the United states will control operation of a shuttle payload. But Nasa officials said they expected no problems. The germans came and melded in like they had been our next door neighbors for years said Nasa executive Robert Seick
