And so, I will be probably, since I am not involved in all the activity, I will have some spare time to devote to document all this busy part of the flight.

For the first time in history all the major countries in the world are pushing together to reach this goal... building something in space that is really for all humankind.

And then my chance really happened in 1996 when we added the second flight of the tether satellite.

I was, I remember, I still remember when the first time I pointed the telescope at the sky and I saw Saturn with the rings. It was a beautiful image.

At that point, there will be the handover between the shuttle arm and the station arm so that the shuttle arm will take the cradle and put it into the cargo bay.

When this space walk will be completed, then the arm will be fully operational and ready for the next activity that will be pretty much the testing, the first flight testing of the space station arm.

And since Italy was involved in the space station as well as signed an agreement with NASA. And when the possibility to enter the 1996 Mission Specialist class.
