Testing of Plasma Engine
Delayed Two Months
In typical Costa Rican
fashion of postponing
things, Costa Ricand and
former NASA astrounat,
Franklin Chang, said
yesterday that plans to
test his new plamsa
engine would occur in
March and not this month
as had been expected.
The AD Astra is located
in Guanacaste where the
plasma engine is being
developed. The testing
was to have occurred at
the Houston, Texas,
space centre at the end
of January.
If the tests in March
prove successful, AD
Astra, led by Chang,
will produce the plasma
in Costa Rica.
According to Chang,
there is great
expectations for the
plasma engine in the
space program.
