NASA's Wednesday Briefing On Landing The Shuttle Atlantis
After a day of careful checks aimed at making sure nothing
important has fallen off the space shuttle, the crew of Atlantis is
set to come home on Thursday.
Wednesday's landing was scrubbed after Brent Jett and his crew
spotted several objects floating near the shuttle -- objects that
appeared to have come from the shuttle itself. That prompted a
thorough series of examinations aimed at finding where those pieces
came from.
Shuttle Program Director Wayne Hale says whatever those objects
were... they don't appear to have been crucial. Let's listen in on
Wednesday afternoon's briefing.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
NASA says Atlantis can come home...
Another air scare for commercial passengers...
And Air Marshals are getting sick in droves... they say
that's the reason so many marshals are being fired....
...And more.

products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.

what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
