... Even though the DoD would ultimately select senior Air Force officials, US Navy oceanographers and Air Weather Service officers as shuttle payload specialists, MSEs would be the first personnel from an American military programme to go into space. ... One Air Force officer, Maj. ... Jacobson was concerned about shuttle launch delays and wanted the MSEs to understand that his mission, i.e., the launch of national security payloads, dwarfed their mission, flights in space by Air Force personnel. ...

... Press release for Feb. 7, 2001 09.00 a.m. (Moscow time) . The Station "Mir" and cargo ship "Progress M1-5"operations scheduled for 6-7 Feb. completed. To increase power generation the Station's attitude in inertial coordinate system is controlled by jets with the spinning about its longitudinal axis of 0,25 degrees /sek.The Station and the cargo ship onboard systems checked out, the orbit radiomonitoring performed. The Station remains pressurized, the onboard systems perform nominal. ...
