"I can't imagine a better mission, said Kenneth Reithler Jr., who will make his first space flight as Discovery's pilot. "I believe very firmly we need to understand what's going on in our environment, in our atmosphere in particular, and to get on with what we're going to need to do." The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite to be placed in orbit by Discovery will help quantify environments of manage, astronaut马克尔森 said. Four of the satellite's 10 scientific instruments will study the atmosphere's ozone layer, which scientists have been depleted by man-made pollutants. "We will truly begin a new era in the study of the global "I wish everybody could see what it looks like from orbit when you go over South America and Africa and Central America where they are slashing and rontment. - NASA scientist Robert J. McNeal "A trail of smoke often stretches across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe." burning large areas of the jungle," Brown said. Discovery is scheduled to head for orbit on a five-day mission with a crew of five — and eight baby rats — at 5.57 p.m. CDT Thursday. The eight 39-day-old rats will be dissected after the flight to see how weightlessness affected their hindlimb muscles; the findings will be applied to studies of human muscle wasting in the absence of gravity. However, NASA was investigating a leak that could delay the mission. If reparations are needed, Discovery will have to be rolled back to its hangar, delaying Thursday's scheduled launch. A decision has been put off until today. The 14,500-pound atmospheric observatory, UARS, the largest atmospheric research satellite ever to be nown, is the first in a series of satellites planned for the Mission to Planet Earth program. "We will truly begin a new era in the study of the global environment" with UARS, said NASA program scientist Robert J. McNeal. Discovery will climb to an unusually high altitude and inclination to put the satellite in an orbit covering much of the globe. Commander John Creighton will maneuver Discovery from an altitude of 336 miles to 351 miles about seven hours into the flight. Ozone, a form of oxygen, is a component of smog in the lower atmosphere. But in the stratosphere, 6 to 34 miles above the earth, most incarcancer-causing ultraviolet rays The shuttle has been stripped of as much equipment as possible to lighten the load for the steep climb. A spare spacesuit, for instance, is being left behind at a savings of 275 pounds. The shuttle is to land at the Kennedy Space Center, weather permitting, around 12:55 a.m. CDT; which would make it the first shuttle landing in darkness in Florida. Stressed-out Japanese workers look for methods of relaxation The Associated Press TOKYO — Once a week, Kuniyoshi Sato stops by the Brain Mind Gym for what amounts to a high-tech mental massage. It is designed to help him do what comes least naturally to the Japanese worker: relax. In a sedately lit back room with television monitors showing pastoral scenes, the 31-year-old pharmacist climbed into a chair and rechained chairs that tilt the walls. For an hour, Sato listens to New Age music piped through headphones and wears special goggles that shoot light through his lightly closed eyelids. It is supposed to be soothing, just like the tea and orange juice served by ubiquitous attendants. Among others receiving treatment with Sato one evening was a graphic designer, a real estate agent and four bank executives. Sato is among the growing number of people who seek help in easing the extreme anxiety that comes with working and living in Japan. "I feel么 stress at work, so come here to relax," Sato explained. "My work's very detailed and has a lot of tension. I can't make any mistakes." Other companies offer services similar to those at the Brain Mind Gym. A specialized library offers books and materials that can be served serve berbera tea said to calm nerves. According to the Nihon Keizai, the leading economic newspaper, almost 90 percent of nearly 2,000 corporate salariesm surveyed by the government said they often felt fatigued. The survey found that they were committed to their jobs and that most took half or less of their allowed vacations. Typically, the Japanese workweek extends far beyond the 40-hour, five-day Western standard. Even when salarymen leave their offices for Tokyo's myriad bars and restaurants, it is often to conduct business over drinks and dinner. Many Japanese commute several hours each day to and from tiny, cramped homes on impossibly cramped trains, adding more stress. Huge traffic jams make weekend getaways nerve-retching. Working out at health clubs, drinking with friends and the more disciplined practices of zen and yoga are long-popular ways to relieve stress, but many alternatives are appearing. The Brain Mind Gym in the trendy Roppongi district opened three years ago, and representative Takehiro Ohta said it had nearly 800 members. Eight more outlets operate in the Tokyo area and in Osaka. About 70 percent of the customers are men in their late 20s or early 30s seeking to relieve work-related stress or just to nap, Ohta said. DAILY KANSAN CLASSIFIED GET RESULTS FREE PIZZA!
