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 patchSTS-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 the servicing after three of the telescope's six gyroscopes failed.

Workshop Announcement - The Education Office of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is intending to support an Educators' Conference in conjunction with the launch.


sts 93 patch STS-93 - Launched July 23, 1999

Scheduled launch July 20 was scrubbed as was the rescheduled July 22, finally the launch on July 23,1999

launch 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.


sts 96 patch STS-96 - Launched May 27, 1999
Originally scheduled for launch May 20, 1999

STS-96 is a logistics and resupply mission for the International Space Station. It is the first flight to dock to the International Space Station. The SPACEHAB double module will carry internal and resupply cargo for station outfitting.
