...Glenn is going aloft to do more than tuck into the cuisine. Discovery will ferry a number of payloads in its cargo bay, including a Spartan satellite that will be released into space to take readings of the sun, a pallet of sensors to measure the ultraviolet environment of space, and several new components for the Hubble Space Telescope that need to be tested in the extreme conditions of space. Most important, the ship is carrying the Spacehab science module, a pressurized laboratory that is connected to the crew compartment and provides additional space for conducting medical experiments...

At the end of April, the Sudanese government grudgingly gave clearance for three more chartered C-130s. Soon four big Ilyushin-76s (cargo capacity: 32 tons) are also to be allowed in. With this beefed-up air service, deliveries will soon reach 10,000 tons a month. That...
