Scheduled to be launched by the Space Shuttle in the 1980's, the Large Space Telescope (LST) will be able to look at galaxies 100 times fainter than those seen by the most powerful, earth-based optical telescopes: Within the solar system, it will be able to provide long-term monitoring of atmospheric phenomena on Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, leading to a better understanding of our own atmosphere. Selection of the instrument definition teams represents several months' evaluation of 118 proposals submitted to an ad hoc subcommittee of NASA's Space Science and Applications Steering com­ mittee, headed by Dr. Nancy G. Roman. \ Twenty-eight team members will define scientific ex­ periments in five areas: High resolution spectrography, low resolution spectrography, imaging optics, infrared devices and astrometry. A sixth team, comprised of three members, will study the data handling and operations problems for all experiments. Scientists expect the LST to contribute significantly to the study of energy processes that occur in the center of galaxies; the study of early stages in the formation of stars and planets; observation of such highly- evolved stellar objects as supernova remnants and white dwarfs, and other studies related to the origin of the universe. Weighing between 9,000 and 11,000 kilograms (20,000 and 25,000 pounds), the LST will be 12 to 16 meters (4g to 52 feet) long and 3.6 to4 meters (12 to 13 feet) wide. Its most important optical element will be a dif­ fraction-limited mirror ap­ proximately three meters (ten feet) in diameter. The guidance system will be capable of holding onto a target for extended periods within 0.005 seconds of arc. (This is equivalent to locking onto a single strand of hair at a distance of two miles.) Solar panels will provide electrical power to the LST, and its images will be tran- 4-H'ers Learn Some New Tricks From Their Dogs You can teach people new tricks about dogs. That's what youths involved in the 4-H dog care ayd training program are doing. ^ The young canine fanciers are looking for better ways to train and care for their animals. And they're showing others how to get maximum enjoyment from their four legged friends. With the supervision of the Cooperative Extension service, young people plan and carry out^iumerous activities in the 4- H dog care and training program. Some 4-H'ers train seeing eye dogs for the blind. Others exhibit their pets in obedience or breed shows. Many give talks and demon- smitted to Earth by television. The spacecraft will orbit Earth at an altitude of 648 to 778 kilometers (350 to 420 nautical miles) at an inclination of 28.5 degrees. The manned Space Shuttle, which NASA is developing for operations beginning in the late 1970's, will be used to launch, test and retrieve the LST from orbit as required for repair, refurbishment, and updating of its instruments. PA<SE7-PLAINDEALER-TUESDAY, JULY 3, 1973 strations on canine care and handling to 4-Hyouth and other - groups in their communities.' The McHenry County Dog Obedience and Training program consists of fourteen weeks, two-hour sessions. The sessions consist of developing the ability of the dog and 4-H'er to work together; learning to groom the dog ; and training the dog in various aspects of dog obedience. The volunteer* leaders con­ ducting the program are Mrs. Ann Radtke of McHenry, Mrs. Jeannette Everett of Rich­ mond, Mrs. Louis Limbaugh of Woodstock and Mrs. Sally Homes of Pistakee Highlands. Adding to the young people's interest in the 4-H Dog Care and Training program are numerous awards offered through the National 4-H Service committee. Up to four medals of honor are awarded to outstanding youths in each county. State winners in the program received a transistor radio, and are eligible for consideration in the selection of sixteen expense-paid sectional trip winners to National 4-H Congress in Chicago, Nov. 25- 29. At that event, six $700 scholarship winners are an­ nounced. For information about 4-H Dog Care and Training program and local program activities scheduled, contact the McHenry County Extension service in Woodstock. V.A. NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE:. Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Below are some representative queries. Ad­ ditional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q - What cutoff date has been set for veterans' benefits for thp Vietnam War? A - No such date has been set. The Vietnam Era is still continuing for purposes of eligibility for veterans benefits. Q - I hear rumors about a device that will give sight to the totally blind. Is this VA prosthetics? Is there such a device? A - You have heard of a concept still in the early research stage and nowhere near ready for prosthetics development. In March 1973, medical newspapers reported that a neurologist from Albert Einstein Collie of Medicine believes such a device even­ tually may be possible if the concept of electrocortical stimulation proves feasible. Q - How much time do I have to get my schooling under the G.I. Bill? A - Education or training under the current G.I. Bill must be completed within eight years of separation from military service or by May 31, 1974. whichever is later. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is twice the size of Massachussetts.
