Mission Updates
Hubble Space Telescope:
There will be another service call to the HST, on STS-82.
Mark C. Lee, Steven L. Smith, Gregory J. Harbaugh and Joseph R. Tanner
were announced by NASA to be the space walkers. STS-82 is scheduled for
February 1997.
Some of the things to be replaced are gyroscopes, tape recorders and
a fine-guidance sensor to ensure the telescope's good health. They will
also replace the spectrographs with a Near Infrared Camera and
Multi-Object Spectrometer.
SAC B
Argentina is preparing it's first satellite for launch in October.
But because of Pegasus problems it could face a delay.
Mir
Astronaut Norman Thagard broke a 20-year American record for the longest
stay in space in June 1995. The previous record of 84 days was set in
February 1974 by thee Skylab astronauts. Rumor has it that Thagard could
not stand the Russian space food.
Since this page just started and really doesnt have that much information
at this time, I will give you some good links to other sites.
