    NASA'S HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE MONTHLY STATUS REPORT
    FOR OCTOBER 1991

    The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) continues to operate normally
    under four-gyro control, using gyros 1, 2, 3 and 5. On October 26,
    Gyro #4, which has been saturated and off-line since June 30, began
    displaying nominal values on both its analog and digital rate
    monitor. Subsequently, on November 4, Gyro #4 again went off line.
    Even though it came back on for short periods, it was never used in
    the control loop. Flight operations personnel will continue to
    monitor its performance. The status of Gyro #6, which failed last
    December, remains unchanged.
    On October 7, flight operations personnel initiated
    operational procedures to transition the Tracking and Data Relay
    Satellite-West (TDRS-West) support from the TDRS-C spacecraft to
    the recently-deployed TDRS-E. The transition went smoothly.
    On October 11, Goddard Space Flight Center formally signed a
    contract with Ball Corporation, of Boulder, CO for completion of
    the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR).
    Development at Ball is on schedule for a servicing mission in early
    1994 with a Critical Design Review scheduled for December 1991 and
    a planned delivery to NASA in April 1993.
    The HST science program has initiated some unique cosmological
    observations using remote quasars as background sources.
    Scientists working with both the Goddard High Resolution
    Spectrograph (GHRS) and the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) have
    reported detection of Lyman-alpha forest absorption in low, red-
    shift quasars, and the FOS is obtaining data with important
    implications for understanding the quasar emission process. In
    addition, the GHRS--in cooperation with the International
    Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and ground-based observers--has obtained
    correlative data on the flare star AU Mic. Results from these and
    other observations will be presented at the upcoming American
    Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting in Atlanta in January 1992.

    ¨o¨BOEING DEFENSE & SPACE GROUP AWARDED INTERCEPTOR INTEGRATION¨o¨
    ¨o¨CONTRACT ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨SEATTLE (NOV. 21) PR NEWSWIRE - Boeing Defense & Space Group¨o¨
    ¨o¨announced today it has received a contract from the U.S. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Army Strategic Defense Command (SDC) to develop a hot-gas ¨o¨
    ¨o¨valve that can be used on miniature kinetic energy ¨o¨ ¨o¨interceptors. A high-speed weapon to destroy enemy ¨o¨
    ¨o¨missiles, the interceptors are designed to destroy incoming ¨o¨
    ¨o¨missiles at high altitudes on impact, rather than by using ¨o¨ ¨o¨explosives. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The valves, which must be small, lightweight and able to ¨o¨
    ¨o¨withstand extremely high temperatures and chemical ¨o¨ ¨o¨environments caused by rocket motor exhaust, are used to ¨o¨
    ¨o¨steer the interceptors by controlling attitude and ¨o¨ ¨o¨maneuvering movements as they move along their high-speed ¨o¨
    ¨o¨paths. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Just one element of the Miniature Kinetic Energy Interceptor¨o¨ ¨o¨Integration program, the Boeing contract is valued at more ¨o¨
    ¨o¨than $1.6 million. Under the contract, the Group's ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Materials and Processes Advanced Materials organization will¨o¨
    ¨o¨develop and demonstrate a low- cost, high-rate production ¨o¨
    ¨o¨method for manufacturing miniature hot gas valves. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The 33-month program will consist of four phases: valve ¨o¨
    ¨o¨design evaluation and selection, fabrication process ¨o¨ ¨o¨development, flight- weight valve fabrication and testing, ¨o¨
    ¨o¨and documenting the research effort. ¨o¨

    ¨o¨The valve passages will be made of rhenium metal encased in ¨o¨
    ¨o¨a composite material, and will be able to withstand ¨o¨ ¨o¨temperatures as high as 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. A four- ¨o¨
    ¨o¨valve assembly is comparable in size to a hockey puck. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Other firms selected by Boeing to support the contract ¨o¨
    ¨o¨include Moog Space Products of East Aurora, N.Y., for valve ¨o¨
    ¨o¨design; Ultramet of Pacoima, Calif., for the rhenium ¨o¨
    ¨o¨coating; and Talley Defense Systems of Mesa, Ariz., for ¨o¨
    ¨o¨solid propellant testing. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Boeing began working in the hot gas valve area in 1985, and ¨o¨
    ¨o¨has been involved in miniaturizing and fabrication ¨o¨ ¨o¨development since 1988 as a participant in the SDC's ¨o¨ ¨o¨Innovative Guided Hypervelocity Projectile's (IGHP) ¨o¨ ¨o¨propulsion system program. During the IGHP program, Boeing ¨o¨
    ¨o¨developed a technique that simplifies the production of the ¨o¨
    ¨o¨small and precise three-dimensional gas flow passages ¨o¨
    ¨o¨necessary for miniature hot gas valves. ¨o¨

    ¨o¨SHUTTLE COUNTDOWN TICKS SMOOTHLY TOWARD SUNDAY NIGHT LAUNCH ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (NOV. 23) UPI - Engineers worked ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Saturday to pump liquid oxygen and hydrogen back aboard the ¨o¨
    ¨o¨shuttle Atlantis to power its electrical generators with the¨o¨
    ¨o¨ship's countdown on track for a Sunday night launch. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Atlantis, carrying six astronauts and a $300 million early ¨o¨
    ¨o¨warning satellite, was scheduled to blast off on the 44th ¨o¨
    ¨o¨shuttle mission at 6:31 p.m. EST Sunday kicking off a 10-day¨o¨
    ¨o¨flight with only the seventh night launch in shuttle ¨o¨
    ¨o¨history. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Liftoff originally was scheduled for Tuesday, but the flight¨o¨
    ¨o¨was delayed five days because of problems with the ¨o¨ ¨o¨navigation system of the $50 million booster rocket used by ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the shuttle's satellite payload. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨A replacement unit was installed Wednesday and tested ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Thursday, clearing the way for engineers to restart ¨o¨ ¨o¨Atlantis's interrupted countdown at 12:01 a.m. Friday. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Commander Frederick Gregory, 50, co-pilot Terence Henricks, ¨o¨
    ¨o¨39, flight engineer Story Musgrave, 56, Mario Runco, 39, ¨o¨
    ¨o¨James Voss, 42, and Army guest astronaut Thomas Hennen, 39, ¨o¨
    ¨o¨planned to spend the day Saturday reviewing their flight ¨o¨
    ¨o¨plans and attending a series of mission briefings. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨If all goes well, the shuttle fliers will strap in Sunday ¨o¨
    ¨o¨afternoon about 3:45 p.m. to await liftoff. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The goal of the 44th shuttle flight, the sixth and final ¨o¨
    ¨o¨mission of 1991, is the deployment early Monday of a Defense¨o¨

    ¨o¨CRITICAL SATELLITE BOOSTER CLEARED; SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS ¨o¨
    ¨o¨READY FOR TAKEOFF ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (NOV. 23) UPI - Air Force engineers ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Saturday cleared a critical satellite booster for takeoff ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Sunday aboard the shuttle Atlantis, setting the stage for a ¨o¨
    ¨o¨rare sky-lighting night launch to kick off a 10-day military¨o¨
    ¨o¨mission. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Atlantis, its six-man crew and a $300 million Defense ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Support Program missile early warning satellite were ¨o¨
    ¨o¨grounded Tuesday because of problems with a navigation unit ¨o¨
    ¨o¨needed by the satellite's $50 million booster rocket. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨A new ''inertial measurement unit'' was ¨o¨
    ¨o¨installed Wednesday, but engineers were unable to duplicate ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the original failure. And that raised the prospect of ¨o¨
    ¨o¨another delay because of lingering concern about the ¨o¨ ¨o¨possibility of a subtle problem that could affect the ¨o¨ ¨o¨replacement unit. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨But late Saturday, Air Force Maj. Bob Thunker, a launch ¨o¨
    ¨o¨vehicle engineer, said continued testing had convinced ¨o¨
    ¨o¨mission managers that the problem would not recur, despite ¨o¨
    ¨o¨an inability to duplicate the glitch. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨''We're comfortable with the unit that was taken out,'' he ¨o¨
    ¨o¨said. ''The failure investigation will continue on to ¨o¨
    ¨o¨pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. But we understand ¨o¨
    ¨o¨it enough to isolate it to the box that we pulled out and we¨o¨
    ¨o¨believe it is not a generic problem.'' ¨o¨

    ¨o¨Continued.... ¨o¨
    ¨o¨With a final test on tap Sunday morning, engineers planned ¨o¨
    ¨o¨to pump a half-million gallons of rocket fuel aboard ¨o¨ ¨o¨Atlantis's external tank starting about 10:11 a.m., setting ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the stage for a launch attempt at 6:31 p.m. EST. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨On board will be commander Frederick Gregory, 50, and co- ¨o¨

    ¨o¨James Voss, 42, and Army Chief Warrant Officer Thomas ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Hennen, 39. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨''We don't have any technical problems that we're working,''¨o¨
    ¨o¨NASA test director Eric Redding said of Atlantis's launch ¨o¨ ¨o¨processing. ''The hardware at this point is performing as it¨o¨
    ¨o¨should, we're pretty much on our timeline and looking for a ¨o¨
    ¨o¨good second launch attempt Sunday.'' ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The goal of the year's sixth and final shuttle mission is ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the deployment at 12:50 a.m. Monday of the Defense Support ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Program satellite during Atlantis's sixth orbit. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨One hour later, the satellite's ''inertial upper stage'' ¨o¨
    ¨o¨booster is scheduled to fire to propel the spacecraft from ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the shuttle's planned 224-mile-high orbit to an operational ¨o¨
    ¨o¨altitude of 22,300 miles above the equator. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨If all goes well, Gregory and Henricks will guide Atlantis ¨o¨
    ¨o¨to a landing Dec. 4 at the Kennedy Space Center. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The Air Force paid NASA $60 million to ferry the payload ¨o¨
    ¨o¨into orbit. Given the $300 million cost of the satellite and¨o¨
    ¨o¨the $50 million cost of its booster, the price tag for the ¨o¨

    ¨o¨CAPE CANAVERAL, FL (NOV. 25) UPI - The Atlantis astronauts ¨o¨ ¨o¨successfully launched a $300 million Air Force early ¨o¨
    ¨o¨warning satellite Monday before turning to on-board ¨o¨
    ¨o¨research, including a hush-hush military space surveillance ¨o¨ ¨o¨experiment. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The primary goal of the marathon 10-day flight was ¨o¨ ¨o¨accomplished at 1:03 a.m. EST Monday with the successful ¨o¨ ¨o¨deployment of the Defense Support Program - DSP - satellite ¨o¨
    ¨o¨from Atlantis's cargo bay. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨

    continued -

    Once checked out and in operation, the DSP satellite will
    join a globe-spanning network of such early warning
    sentinels equipped with infrared telescopes capable of
    detecting enemy missile launches or nuclear explosions.

    With the primary goal of the 44th shuttle mission behind
    them, the Atlantis astronauts plan to devote the rest of
    the year's sixth and final shuttle flight to carrying out a
    battery of on-board civilian and military research
    projects.

    Commander Frederick Gregory, 50, co-pilot Terence Henricks,
    39, Story Musgrave
    56, Mario Runco, 39, James Voss, 42, and Army guest
    astronaut Thomas Hennen, 39, began their first full day in
    orbit Monday at 1:44 p. m. with a wakeup call from the
    commander of the starship Enterprise on the television show
    ''Star Trek: The Next Generation.''

    ''Space. The final frontier,'' intoned actor Patrick
    Stewart in a recorded message. ''This is the voyage of the
    space shuttle Atlantis. It's 10-day mission: to explore new
    methods of remote sensing and observation of planet Earth;
    to seek out new data on radiation in space and a new
    understanding of the effects of microgravity on the human
    body.''

    Gregory responded: ''Good morning Enterprise!''

    Among the tasks facing the astronauts Monday was work with
    a medical experiment to learn more about how to counteract
    the effects of weightlessness for space fliers returning to
    Earth's gravity.

    Atlantis's flight originally was planned to last just four
    days, but the mission was extended to gather more data with
    the Lower Body Negative Pressure experiment.

    The LBNP apparatus is a large sleeping bag-like contraption
    that an astronaut climbs into and seals off at the waist.
    By lowering the bag's internal air pressure, blood can be
    forced back into the lower body just like it is on Earth
    when someone stands up.

    Earlier flight tests indicate LBNP could help astronauts
    eliminate the dizziness that often accompanies the return
    to Earth's gravity. The Atlantis astronauts plan to take
    turns using the device throughout the mission.

    Hennen, one of the nation's leading experts on image
    analysis, planned to begin work Monday with an space
    surveillance experiment called Terra Scout. Using a video
    camera with special lenses, Hennen plans to observe a
    variety of ground targets as the shuttle sails overhead.

    His first target: Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

    ''What we're trying to do is document the manner in which a
    human observes and more specifically, analyzes seen data,''
    said Hennen, selected for the mission from a pool of 700
    military image analysts. ''What we want to do is translate
    that data into computer-assisted sensing systems. What we
    want to do is make smart sensors.

    ''We have systems (now) that we know exactly what they can
    and cannot see on the Earth. But those systems are
    commanded by humans. What we're trying to do is incorporate
    the human imagery analysis skill into a sensing device to
    make it autonomous.''

    Starting Tuesday, Runco, a former New Jersey Highway Patrol
    officer, will begin work with a second military
    surveillance experiment called M88-1.

    Unlike Terra Scout, M88-1 is designed to help military
    analysts better understand what the human eye can see from
    space and how astronauts might be of service in a time of
    national crisis.

    Atlantis is scheduled to glide to a landing Dec. 4 at the
    Kennedy Space Center to close out the 19th post-Challenger
    shuttle flight.

    ¨o¨SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS ASTRONAUTS STUDY SURVEILLANCE ¨o¨ ¨o¨TECHNIQUES ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨CAPE CANAVERAL, FL (NOV. 26) UPI - The shuttle Atlantis's ¨o¨
    ¨o¨crew conducted secretive military space surveillance ¨o¨ ¨o¨experiments Tuesday and enjoyed a coincidental close ¨o¨
    ¨o¨encounter with the Soviet Mir space station as it streaked ¨o¨
    ¨o¨past a scant 26 miles away. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨After the rare flyby, cosmonauts Sergei Krikalev and ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Alexander Volkov relayed greetings to Atlantis's crew ¨o¨
    ¨o¨through amateur radio operators at the Johnson Space Center ¨o¨
    ¨o¨in Houston, saying they were able to watch Atlantis's fiery ¨o¨
    ¨o¨nighttime climb to orbit Sunday. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨''We were near the Kennedy Space Center at your launch ¨o¨
    ¨o¨time. We listened to the countdown on amateur radio and we ¨o¨
    ¨o¨saw the whole launch sequence,'' Krikalev said. ''It was a ¨o¨
    ¨o¨wonderful sight. We send our congratulations for a ¨o¨ ¨o¨successful start. We hope all goes well for you.'' ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Atlantis astronaut Mario Runco knows Krikalev and when he ¨o¨
    ¨o¨was told of the cosmonaut's message, he asked flight ¨o¨ ¨o¨controllers to relay greetings from the shuttle crew. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Direct ship-to-ship communications were not attempted. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨''We hope their mission continues with great success and ¨o¨
    ¨o¨that it comes to a successful conclusion when they finally ¨o¨
    ¨o¨get home,'' he said. ¨o¨

    ¨o¨The camera is critical to the Army's partially classified ¨o¨
    ¨o¨''Terra Scout'' experiment, which is designed to help ¨o¨
    ¨o¨engineers learn how to build ''smart'' satellite sensors ¨o¨
    ¨o¨operated by computer programs that mimic human ¨o¨ ¨o¨observational techniques. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨After initial problems, the boxy camera system worked as ¨o¨
    ¨o¨planned during passes over South Africa, the Indian Ocean ¨o¨
    ¨o¨and Malaysia. More of the same was on tap Tuesday afternoon ¨o¨
    ¨o¨and evening. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Hennen attempted to use the camera to look at special ¨o¨
    ¨o¨targets laid out on a runway at the Cape Canaveral Air ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Force Station near the Kennedy Space Center, but cloudy ¨o¨
    ¨o¨weather prevented him from finding the landing strip. Hazy ¨o¨
    ¨o¨weather also prevented a clear observation of Brisbane, ¨o¨ ¨o¨Australia. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Runco later began work with a second space surveillance ¨o¨ ¨o¨experiment called M88-1. Unlike Terra Scout, M88-1 is ¨o¨
    ¨o¨concerned with determining the usefulness of military ¨o¨
    ¨o¨observers in space during times of crisis. Runco's first ¨o¨
    ¨o¨objective was to identify ships anchored at Pearl Harbor, ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Hawaii, but he was only partially successful. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨''We acquired several images, only one or two were usable ¨o¨
    ¨o¨due to the smear, our forward track smear,'' he radioed, ¨o¨
    ¨o¨referring to the blurring produced by the shuttle's motion. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨''We were not able to identify any types (but) I saw some ¨o¨
    ¨o¨nested ships along the pier.'' ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Joining Runco, Hennen and Henricks, all 39, aboard Atlantis ¨o¨
    ¨o¨were commander Frederick Gregory, 50, flight engineer Story ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Musgrave, 56, and James Voss, 42. ¨o¨

    ¨o¨Videotape beamed down from Atlantis showed Mir as a very ¨o¨
    ¨o¨bright ''star'' streaking through space some 26 miles away ¨o¨
    ¨o¨as the shuttle crew sailed above their Soviet colleagues. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Mir was visible to the shuttle crew for three minutes and ¨o¨
    ¨o¨20 seconds. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The primary goal of Atlantis's marathon 10-day flight was ¨o¨ ¨o¨accomplished Monday when Voss, working at a console on ¨o¨ ¨o¨Discovery's aft flight deck, deployed the 2.5-ton Defense ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Support Program - DSP - missile early warning satellite ¨o¨
    ¨o¨from Atlantis's cargo bay. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Back on Earth, engineers said one of the two solid-fuel ¨o¨
    ¨o¨boosters used to help boost Atlantis into orbit Sunday ¨o¨ ¨o¨apparently was damaged when it dropped by parachute into ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the Atlantic Ocean after being jettisoned from the shuttle. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Part of the forward section of the shuttle's left booster ¨o¨
    ¨o¨was cracked, but officials said the damage probably was ¨o¨
    ¨o¨caused by impact in rough seas and not by any problems ¨o¨
    ¨o¨during flight. ¨o¨

    ¨o¨UPDATE: CLOUDS PLAGUE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS SPACE SURVEILLANCE ¨o¨ ¨o¨EXPERIMENTS ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨CAPE CANAVERAL, FL (NOV. 27) UPI - The Atlantis astronauts ¨o¨
    ¨o¨trained their spy cameras on ships at sea and other targets ¨o¨
    ¨o¨around the world Wednesday, but cloudy weather and radio ¨o¨
    ¨o¨trouble continued to plague the space surveillance ¨o¨ ¨o¨experiments. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The crew's exercise treadmill also broke down early ¨o¨ ¨o¨Wednesday, prompting physicians on Earth to ask the ¨o¨ ¨o¨astronauts to substitute deep kneebends instead to keep in ¨o¨
    ¨o¨shape and to gather medical data about the body's ¨o¨ ¨o¨adaptation to weightlessness. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨ ¨o¨Television shots beamed down from Atlantis showed commander ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Frederick Gregory, held to the floor of the crew cabin by ¨o¨
    ¨o¨elastic bungee cords, doing repetitive ''space squats'' to ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the amusement of his crewmates. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨ ¨o¨''Atlantis, the scores from the flight (surgeons) are 5.2, ¨o¨
    ¨o¨4.2 and 5. 7 for Fred,'' joked astronaut James Halsell in ¨o¨
    ¨o¨mission control. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨''Is that for his dancing or for his exercising?'' asked ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Atlantis astronaut James Voss. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨If all else fails, NASA spokesman James Hartsfield said an ¨o¨ ¨o¨experimental rowing machine was on board that could be ¨o¨
    ¨o¨pressed into service if the treadmill cannot be repaired or ¨o¨
    ¨o¨if surgeons decide the knee bends are not sufficient. ¨o¨

    ¨o¨The goal of the 44th shuttle mission, the sixth and final ¨o¨
    ¨o¨flight planned for 1991, was accomplished early Monday with ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the successful launch of a $300 million Defense Support ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Program missile early warning satellite. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨The rest of the flight is being devoted to a battery of ¨o¨
    ¨o¨on-board experiments, including two Pentagon space ¨o¨ ¨o¨surveillance projects: Terra Scout, an Army experiment, and ¨o¨
    ¨o¨M88-1, a multi-service experiment to find out whether ¨o¨ ¨o¨astronauts can provide useful tactical information during ¨o¨
    ¨o¨times of crisis. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Runco, who has primary responsibility for M88-1, was ¨o¨
    ¨o¨hampered Tuesday and Wednesday by problems with his UHF ¨o¨
    ¨o¨radio gear and by cloudy weather over his first several ¨o¨
    ¨o¨targets. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨He was unable to identify any of the 34 ships at anchor in ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Tuesday night and bad weather ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Wednesday also prevented him from observing ships in the ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Gulf of Mexico off the Yucatan Peninsula, ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨ ¨o¨''Calypso, Calypso, this is Atlantis,'' he radioed at one ¨o¨
    ¨o¨point. ''Was not able to acquire targets over site due to ¨o¨
    ¨o¨weather and could not raise you via direct comm (by UHF ¨o¨
    ¨o¨radio), over.'' ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨M88-1 targets for Wednesday night and Thursday morning ¨o¨
    ¨o¨included two air bases in Australia and Hawaii. ¨o¨
    ¨o¨ ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Hennen, an Army image analyst, is responsible for Terra ¨o¨
    ¨o¨Scout. The goal of the research is to learn more about how ¨o¨
    ¨o¨an expert studies targets from space to help engineers ¨o¨
    ¨o¨develop ''smart'' spy satellites that can employ some of ¨o¨
    ¨o¨the same techniques. ¨o¨ …Ž Ž ŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽŽ­
