STS-106 - This 4th Space Station flight completes the original
STS-101 mission objectives. With both missions slated for flight aboard
Shuttle Atlantis, launch for STS-106 will occur no earlier than Aug. 19.
Astronauts on the new STS-106 mission will complete service module support
tasks on orbit, transfer supplies and outfit ISS for the first long-duration
crew.

A special series of events
from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL) give you the chance to interact
live with JPL scientists, engineers, technicians and administrators from
the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission project, before, during and after
the mission.
STS-103
- Successfully launched December 19, 1999 at 6:50 p.m. Central time following
multiple delays due to safety and weather issues.
This is the Mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
Originally scheduled for June 2000, NASA officials decided to move up

This mission is featured in Female Frontiers project. See the archives of the
live activities from Kennedy Space
Center.
Scheduled for launch: July 1999
First fully Russian contribution to the Space Station The Service Module
will be the first fully Russian contribution to the International Space
Station and will serve as the early cornerstone for the first human habitation
of the station. It is scheduled to be launched unpiloted in the summer
of 1998 as the third station component to reach orbit, docking by remote
control with the already orbiting Functional Cargo Block and Node 1 at
an altitude of about 220 miles.
