For once, STS number will correspond to actual fight number.
We're less than 24 hours to launch of what is said the most complex fligth of the ISS assembly. One first : The CDR of the shuttle will be a female (Pam Melroy) and she'll be greated by the first female CDR of the ISS (Peggy Whitson) here is the countdown timeline : http://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts1...0countdown.html Have a good flight. -------------------- |

This is sweet watching the ISS mature into the final stages of construction. I wonder if there is going to be another strange magnetic moment "moment" when Harmony is connected to the structure. Columbus will be a nice Christmas present!
Is there anywhere I can find a list of scheduled experiments planned for Columbus? Will it be ready for action in 2008? |
