The 46th episode of the syndicated series Mr. District Attorney, starring David Brian, is broadcast in the United States. This story, titled Police Brutality, is future Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry‘s sixth television script sale. Roddenberry, still on active duty with the Los Angeles Police Department, is also the show’s “technical advisor” on police procedure; this is his final Mr. District Attorney script before moving on to another Ziv Television show, Highway Patrol. Due to Roddenberry’s current police employment, the episode is credited to his pseudonym, Robert Wesley. Though no longer commercially available, the original film prints are held by the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Tiny Adrastea, a small, asteroid-like moon of Jupiter, is discovered in photos returned by Voyager 2 during its flyby of the planet. Adrastea orbits along the outer edge of Jupiter’s ring system, and is likely to be the body from which material for that ring is ejected. Its close orbit carries it around the planet at a speed faster than Jupiter’s rotation, one of the few bodies in the solar system locked into such a fast orbit.

Space Shuttle Atlantis lifts off on the 135th and final flight of an American Space Shuttle. During the 13-day mission to the International Space Station, the final shuttle-sized supply delivery takes place. The mission was originally budgeted as a rescue flight for the final Hubble Space Telescope servicing flight in 2009, but is approved as a final station flight since funding and supplies had already been set aside. Atlantis’ 33rd and final crew is Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and mission specialists Rex Walheim and Sandy Magnus. Upon landing at Kennedy Space Center for the final time, Atlantis joins the other orbiters in a months-long process to strip them of working engines and other key components before the shuttles are delivered to their museum destinations.
