- On the last STS mission (Atlantis, I believe), a satellite was carried into
- orbit. This satellite was on a long tether, which was dragged through the
- earth's atmosphere in order to generate electricity. Was this mission
- successful in doing this? Please post answers in NETNEWS.
- Thanks a lot!
