RELEASE: 01-138
The shuttle and its five-member crew will deliver the new
American-made Joint Airlock to the International Space
Station. The six-ton portal will provide astronauts living
aboard the space station access to and from space wearing
either Russian or American space suits, without the need of a
docked shuttle. This gives the orbiting outpost an
unprecedented degree of self-reliance.
