Rockwell in Russian Space Deal: Rockwell International Corp. said it signed a letter of understanding with the Russian aerospace company NPO Energiya to pursue several space initiatives. Under the agreement, the Russian firm will provide the engineering work and eventually some hardware for a docking system that would enable the U.S. shuttle orbiter to dock with Russia’s Mir space station. In turn, Rockwell will purchase engineering data on spacecraft performance from the Russian company.
