Hi all, there were a lot of questions about the new timeline. It depends from the undocking of Progress-40. But the problem is what will really going on with MIR. The official order now is to decrease Mir's orbit with the rocket motor of Progress-40. But there are in Russia also heavy discussions to save the station and boost it a little higher for further long time operations. We must wait. >From the office of Prof. Syromyatnikow, the chief of the Znamya 2.5 - experiment, I have the information that they will start with the mirror at mid-February 1999. Be patient, I am on the door of the Znamya -people. Harro Harro Zimmer, Berlin, Germany Harro. Zimmer@t-online.de
