BrahmsAfter much pain and anguish, NASA got the first satellite into its final orbit. I believe there are three planned with (i believe) a forth as a backup. Once the satellites are operation, the shuttles will be able to be in contact with earth about 85-90% of the time. Added Note: Because of the problem with the first satellite, I've heard that there is a possibility that the Space Lab inaugural flight may be delayed. Apparently they don't want the Space Lab out of contact for a long period of time. -- Brad Brahms (arpa: Brahms@USC-ECLC) P.S. Please correct me on any of the above if I'm wrong. -------
