That Resolution cites such violations As deaths abductions temporary disappear ances torture and ill treatment by Security forces. The three resolutions arc based on . Reports submitted to the Assembly this month. The Iran report was widely criticized by diplomats and rights advocates because it listed few specific allegations and dealt entirely with efforts to persuade Iran to allow a visit by an inspection team. Both Iran and Afghanistan refused to cooperate with the United nations in the preparation of the rights re ports. The resolutions urge both nations to allow visits by representatives of the . Human rights commission. The afghan Delegate Mohammad Zarif called the report on his country a collection of false assertions. Cheap lies and unfounded  Iran has called for an expert in islamic Taw to study the situation there. The report on Iran was prepared by Reynaldo Galindo Pohl a lawyer from Al Salvador. 11  f i electric Lasso among suggestions for Nasa. ,., ._.i.

The company examined several ideas for a recovery Kil thai could be attached to the front of the space Agency s  vehicle a 15-foot-Diame a Remote control spacecraft being de signed by try for operation in he Early a generic design for grabbing a variety of satellites emerged from the study. It consists of an extendable Arm a Choice of a Small Gripper or Large claws and a connecting turntable for Matching spin with a satellite launched from the space shuttle s cargo Bay the vehicle would Fly beyond the reach of the orbiter to retrieve Way Ward spacecraft spinning or tumbling out of control said Steve Hall manager of the contract for Marshall. The Remote control vehicle gradually would bring he satellite under control then would Low it Back to the shuttle or the planned Nasa International space station for repairs. Hall said. The estimated Cost of developing a re covery kit is $18 million. Hall said the expenditure would be worthwhile if needed to Rescue just one expensive spacecraft such As the $1.2 billion Hub ble space Telescope scheduled for launch in 1988, or 10 pick up any manmade debris that threatened to hit the 18 Bil lion space station. Despite All the High technology involved some of the concepts would look familiar to  electric Lasso that could be slipped around a satellite slowing it Down with magnetic proposed by Georg von Tiesenhausen. Tiesenhausen until be retired this month had been one of he centers two remaining members of Wernher von Braun s Racket team. Although the Lasso would t actually ouch the satellite said Hall the magnetic Fields induced probably would damage delicate electronics inside. Another idea is the space Bola patterned after the Boles used by South american gauchos to Enla Agle a running animal. Three inflatable arms would be extended and then partially deflated Hall said. Small solid propellant charges atthe end of the arms would drive them around the target and Velcio pads on the ends would lock them together As they overlapped. Hal said the unpredictability of the reaction Between the satellite and the re Mote control vehicle probably eliminates that idea from Contention.
