SPACE STATION CREW TO WELCOME FIRST VISITORS;

SPREAD ITS WINGS FOR POWER

The International Space Station crew, its first space visitors,

and activities that will create the most powerful spacecraft in
history will all be the subject of a series of briefings starting
at 9 a.m. EST, Monday, Nov. 13, at NASA's Johnson Space Center,
Houston, TX. During the next mission aboard a space shuttle,
astronauts will connect a package of giant solar arrays and
associated electronics, batteries, radiators and support structure
to the station. The U.S.-developed, 240-foot long arrays will
generate a level of electricity that could power 30 average Earth
homes, and will be the first of three such sets of arrays that
will be attached to the station in coming years.
