T O P I C R E V I E Wheng44 This photo was taken by STS-79 mission specialist Jay Apt on April 24, 1996, as the crew was approaching the Kennedy Space Center in their T-38 jets. They were asked by air traffic control to remain aloft for a short period, until an Air Force Titan-IV had been launched. The Titan orbited USA-118, a secret military spacecraft of which no details are known.Ed HengeveldPSYes, I know: my "weeks" are rather short.
