NASA and its West German counterpart will coöperate in Project Helios, a space mission to study solar processes. According to an agreement signed in June, NASA will launch two Germanbuilt spacecraft on Atlas‐Centaur rockets. The launchings, planned for 1974–75, will be approximately a year apart and will carry the space probes three tenths of the distance from the earth to the sun, further than any other flight now scheduled.
