A pathologists on monday examined Crew re Mains recovered from challenger s shattered Cabin sources reported while the Ocean search continued for More body parts and debris such As data tapes that might provide clues to the disaster. Some remains and Cabin wreckage were brought ashore secretly saturday night by the Navy Salvage ship preserver which entered port without running lights said the sources who spoke on condition of Anonym Ity. In announcing sunday that the Cabin de Bris and remains had been located Nasa did not say whether anything had been re covered. The Agency said it would respect family wishes and not comment again until the operation was completed. Nasa spokesman said nothing monday. The Navy which is conducting the search said the 213-foot preserver was at the scene where the Cabin debris was found but declined to say whether divers were on the Ocean floor. Recovering Cabin wreckage and body re Mains depends on weather and sea conditions Nasa said and could take Days. The search area had wind up to 20 Mph and 4 to-6-foot Waves monday. Private boats and planes were barred from an area two Miles around the search continued on Page 28 european probe near no a Fey s come Darmstadt Germany a if All goes As planned scientists Here will get the closest glimpse yet of Halley s Comet when the european space probe Giotto streaks within 310 Miles of the celestial visitor this week. High tech tracking equipment in this Central German City where the european space Agency has its control Center will begin receiving the first images by radio at about 8 . On thursday. Four hours later the satellite will make its nearest approach to what is believed to be the Comet s Core operations Center spokeswoman Ria Weiland said. It will be the closest encounter Ever of a Man made object with a Comet and could be fraught with danger for the spacecraft As it moves at High Speed through the pall of dust around Halley s. It s really funny Weiland said. When it Halley s returned in 1910, everyone was scared to death. Now we re going right up to  the Comet named after English astronomer Edmund Halley was first reported seen 2,000 years ago. Late in the 17th Century Halley correctly calculated its regular return to the solar system every 76.02 years on a recent tour of the Esa buildings 12 Miles South of Frankfurt and hidden from a nearby Highway by Groves of Pines reporters could see operations personnel studiously working at computer terminals. The biggest danger to Giotto will be a Circle of dust called the coma which extends up to 62,000 Miles from the Comet Ford said. With Giotto travelling at about 42 Miles per second dust particles will bombard the satellite at speeds 50 times faster than a Bullet shot from a gun scientists say. At those speeds a Grain of dust can slice through a 3 Inch thick Sheet of aluminium and Giotto May be destroyed before it can get close enough to take pictures of the Comet s nucleus. As a result the part of Esa s probe facing the Comet is protected by a double shield designed to vaporize the dust particles before they can damage Giotto s valuable equip ment. Scientists think the Comet s nucleus is a mixture of dust and ice a few Miles in diameter and they describe it As a dirty snowball. If Giotto survives its rendezvous with the Comet Esa plans to use the probe in a second Mission to explore another Comet named Schwassmann Wachmann 3, Weiland said. The Darmstadt Center is connected to ground monitoring stations at Villafranca near Madrid Spain Malinda Kenya Kourou French Guiana and Carnarvon Australia. The Esa probe launched in july 1985 by the european ariane 1 rocket from French Guiana is named in Honor of Giotto i Bondone the italian master historians say spotted Halley s Comet in 1301 and later painted an image of it in a Chapel in Padua Italy.
