Con Gress and to the Northeast congressional delegation that the president s clean air act does t go far enough and this is where they should take it said Massachusetts environmental Secretary John  of the Northeast slates for coordinated air use management agreed to adopt state regulations thai would require manufacturers to improve or test anti pollution equip Menlo ensure it meets tougher emissions standards. The group consisting of new York new Jer sey and the new England states also agreed to require the addition of a dashboard indicator showing when standards arc not met. The pact would cover new cars beginning wit the 1993 Model year. The Price of the Aulo emissions equipment is$100 to $150 per car Devillars said. The Price of not cleaning up our air is far far High California s rules set limits on emissions by motor vehicles sold in the stale and mandate thai the standards be met through 100,000 Miles of travel. Bush s recent clean air proposal would limit emissions through 50,000  Bradley executive director of the Northeast compact said a Large part of pollution comes from cars that have gone More than 50.000  now Over half the cars on the Road exceed the Standard for hydrocarbons and car Bon monoxide at 30,000 Miles he said. Motor vehicle emissions Are affected by Sun Light to make smog which irritates the respiratory tract. Winged rocket Pegasus Rolls out of Nasa hangar Edwards fab Calif. A officials thursday unveiled a 50-foot winged rocket of the sort thai will be launched from a b-52 bomber in october in the first flight of a privately developed Boosler designed to put satellites in orbit at Low Cost. The gleaming while Pegasus rocket similar to the pioneering x-15 rocket plane was rolled out of a Han Gar Al Nasa s Ames Dryden flight research facility As 400 people watched and a High school band played. Antonio Elias a scientist who originated the idea for Orbital sciences corp., noted ils adaptation of technology from air Force and Navy missiles and declared Pegasus a noteworthy example of swords turned into  Orbital sciences corp. Developed the rocket Wil Hercules aerospace co. Orbital sciences spokeswoman Barbara c. Zadina said that at a Cost of $6 Millionth $8 million per launch we Are lowering the thresh old for gelling Inlo  while the Pentagon and Nasa Are interested infusing Pegasus rockets for military and scientific projects you re going to see states Small countries or University programs that want to gel Inlo space Zadina said wednesday. Now for $6 million they can afford a dedicated  before the challenger disaster in 1986, Nasa was charging about $35 million to deploy a Large satellite. Last year Nasa recommended a $110 million fee fora shuttle payload. Pegasus will allow Small satellites to be launched Atlow Cost for astronomy and environmental and other research said Robert pm us of the National aeronautics and space administration s Goddard space flight Center in Greenbelt my an Orbital sciences brochure Calls Pegasus a winged Workhorse after the winged horse of my  Pegasus Rockel unveiled thursday will not be the one launched in october. Instead it will be earned loft under the wings of a Nasa b-52 for test nights later this month and in Early october. Later in october anole or Pegasus will be released from a b-52 Aboul 40,000 feel Over the Pacific Ocean off the California coast. The three stage rocket win ignite and carry into orbit a three part payload named Pesat thai contains Nasa and Pentagon expert  first night also May carry a Small satellite Hal will be used by the slate of Virginia for environmental monitoring of Chesapeake Bay Zadina said. Orbital sciences says the 41,000-Pound Pegasus is49.2 feet Long 50 inches in diameter and has a Delta shaped Wing Wilh a 22-foot Span. Ii can carry into Low Earth orbit payloads up to 6feel Long almost 4 feet in diam scr and weighing up to 900 pounds according to Orbital sciences corp. Zadina said the Dale of the october Pegasus launch remains to be scheduled and a second flight is due late this year or Early in 1990,on the tint night Pegasus will launch Peg sat. The first part of the triple payload is a Small expert menial Navy communications relay satellite that will separate from Peg sat once it is in orbit said pm us Nasa s Peg sat project manager. The Navy wants to team if such satellites can help relay data collected by its weather and oceanographic research instruments according to a statement Issue Din May by the Pentagon s defense advanced research projects  also will carry sensors 19 collect information on Pegasus surroundings As it is launched. That will help the Effort to build fighter less expensive satellites Pincus  10 90 Days after Peg sat reaches orbit it will release its third payload a series of canisters thai will release the chemical barium Inlo space to help Nasa scientists study Earth s magnetic Field Ana the electrically charged particles trapped inside it he added. Orbital sciences and Hercules announced in june that their first commercial customer is Ball  an agreement. Pegasus rockets will be used to = launch two Ball communications satellites in 1990 or1991
