For those of you who wish to watch it land, the East Lake Shore site will be open. The only problem is that we have water on the lakebed (no, not a lake, just water on the lakebed :-) so it may land on the paved runway, which is somewhat further away from the viewing site than is the lakebed runway that they frequently use. See my somewhat late, but still relevant posting on the Hillside and East Lake Shore viewing sites. -- Mary Shafer shafer@skipper.dfrf.nasa.gov ames!skipper.dfrf.nasa.gov!shafer NASA Ames Dryden Flight Research Facility, Edwards, CA Of course I don't speak for NASA "A MiG at your six is better than no MiG at all"--Unknown US fighter pilot

The will be deploying a huge observatory designed to trace energetic rays. Two of the five astronauts will also step outside to test equipment for NASA's planed space station. I will be the first space walk by americans in more than five years. Hope this gave you what info you were looking for. Darrell haught@nisc.jvnc.net
