US-SPACE SHUTTLE-STARSHINE 2

This undated photo released by NASA shows the Starshine 2, an atmospheric observation satellite designed by students, which will be carried into the Internationl Space Station aboard Space Shuttle Endeavor on its STS-108 mission 29 November 2001. More than 25,000 students from 26 countries will track Starshine 2 as it orbits Earth for eight months at an altitude of 387 kilometers (240 miles), using the information they collect to calculate the density of the Earth's upper atmosphere. The satellite is a 19 in (48 cm) diameter aluminum sphere that weighs 85 lb (38 kg), and the surface is covered by 845 aluminum mirrors polished by students.
