- I know for a fact that there is more going on in this flight than just USMP-2,
- since I am working on an experiment project that will be flying on the OAST-2
- carrier also slated for that flight. I believe the manifested missions listed
- represent the major effort of the flight and not a sum total of all activities
- that will be done.
-
- I can't speak for what else is being done on this flight, but I am *really*
- looking forward to it! (somewhat biased of course :)
