Microgravity SCIENCE Laboratory-1
Science Update, July 17, 1997 11:00 a.m. CDT
Answers to Questions Undreamt
From the quantity and quality of science results
to the number of commands send from the ground to space, the Microgravity
Sciences Laboratory (MSL-1), which wrapped Wednesday afternoon, set a record
for superlatives.
"How do you spell success?" asked mission scientist Mike Robinson
in the final mission update briefing Wednesday afternoon. "I spell
it M-S-L-1."

The Microgravity Science Laboratory-1 mission officially ended on July 17 1997, at 5:46 a.m. CDT, when STS-94 landed safely at Kennedy Space Center. By visiting this site, you were able learn about the science being performed on this mission and why.
But stay tuned! The Space Sciences Laboratory, at Marshall Space Flight Center, reports on the latest space science news coming from our scientists and their colleagues throughout the world. Our latest headlines - on atmospheric physics and "global warming," the Earth's aurora, the Sun, deep space astrophysics, and of course, microgravity science - can always be found at http://www.ssl.msfc.nasa.gov/.
