He is also involved in one of the more innovative university astronomy programs around. Dr. Forbes tells Jennifer Laing about his work and research interests, and discusses how Telescopes have recently hit the headlines thanks to a new movie linking an Australian radio telescope to the TV broadcast of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. http://www.universetoday.com/html/articles/2001-0116a.html SHUTTLE DELAYED BECAUSE OF FAULTY BOOSTER CABLES Originally scheduled to launch Friday, the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis has been delayed until at least February 6 because of faulty electrical cables that connect the shuttle to its two solid-fuel rocket boosters. Atlantis and its 5-astronaut crew are scheduled to deliver the US-built Destiny laboratory module to space station Alpha.

An unmanned Progress cargo ship is scheduled to launch on Thursday this week to deliver the fuel Mir will need to perform its de-orbiting maneuvers - an emergency crew of cosmonauts is ready to go if anything goes wrong with the automated docking system. The Russians are now expected to focus their efforts on space station Alpha.

State television said the spacecraft landed in China's northern region of Inner Mongolia on Tuesday at 1122 GMT (3:22am PST). Last month, state media said that China plans to put humans into space within the next five years - industry experts believe that target is actually only two years away.
