SHUTTLE'S WORK NEARLY COMPLETE
The crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis have completed most of the repairs to the International Space Station. If the mission wraps up as smoothly as it has gone so far, the crew will undock Atlantis from the station on Friday. There is one small problem with one of the newly installed batteries, however, which could cause the crew to stick around until Monday to make sure it's repaired.

ATLAS 3 DEBUT IS A SUCCESS
After a series of delays over the past month, the brand new Atlas 3A US/Russian rocket roared into space on its inaugural flight. The rocket cleared the launch tower Wednesday at 7:10 EDT, and the upper stage positioned the Eutelsat W4 satellite in a preliminary parking orbit.

SCIENTISTS HOPING TO STOP COMPTON'S DESTRUCTION
The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory has been working hard for science since it was launched in 1991. But since one of its three gyroscopes failed, NASA has decided to de-orbit the observatory rather than allow another gyroscope to fail - if one does, NASA won't be able to control where the telescope crashes. scientists who rely on the observatory are trying to get NASA to take the risk anyway.
