NASA announced it had chosen, from more than 1000 respondents to invitations, 59 scientists (47 from the United States and 12 from the United Kingdom) to participate in the second flight of Spacelab scheduled for launch in 1981. The Solar Terrestrial Division in NASA's Office of Space Sciences, responsible for managing Spacelab 2's payload, would choose experiments to provide new data on very high energy cosmic rays; x-ray emissions in galactic clusters; diffuse cool objects in earth's galaxy; and relationships between solar activity and magnetic fields.
