MSFC reported that a new pattern of painting Shuttle solidfuel rocket boosters for orbital flight tests in 1979 and 1980 could save the agency an estimated $300 000. The center's system dynamics laboratory had changed the 6 black stripes running the length of the giant motors to 4 large rectangles in a spiral pattern that would let engineers measure roll and pitch rates of the boosters on reentry.
