Introduction
NASA is getting ready to launch the unique Space Technology 5 (ST5) mission, consisting of three micro-satellites. These micro-sats will test and validate new technologies for future science missions - namely they will demonstrate the benefits of a group of small low-cost spacecraft taking measurements at the same time in different locations. The satellites are scheduled for launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) Feb. 28, 2006 and will operate for at least 90 days.
