I was watching CNN tonight, and they reported that Atlantis was carrying
a radar satellite. ( I forgot the acronym they gave, but the satellite's
primary function is to track targets over 80% of Soviet territory for 
the Navy, Air Force and the Army.) I guess this is the first in the series
that will allow the proposed B-2 Stealth bomber to acquire targets.
The cost of this satellite is reported to be in the neighborhood of $500 mil.
That's all the info I have right now.
