Keats in Space

Our friend Keats Wilkie works for JPL/NASA and has an experiment on the latest Space Shuttle mission. He sent me a note and pictures:
- Mission is going great, thus far. Astronauts activate the experiment Sunday night (Monday morning) at 0030 CDT. NASA may show it live on NASA TV, although you might miss it if you blink. All the astronauts have to do is throw one switch, confirm a light came on, then go back to bed.
- There are some cool pictures of Endeavour on-line now, with the flight experiment (RIGEX) barely visible in the cargo bay. The RIGEX flight experiment is that small can all the way in the back, passenger side, with Air Force decals all over it. It's looking kind of lonely in that last shot. ;-)
- At flickr: one, two, three.
