The basketball sized, mirror covered Starshine is supposed to launch from
the STS-96 Space Shuttle I think around 0700 UTC Saturday (after midnight
going into Sat. in the USA).  I've lost the reference and am trying to post
this as quickly as possible.  The Starshine web page (launch info is
outdated) is:

I'm still hearing that STS-96 will land at Cape Canaveral.  I guess we'll
have to see how things develop.
