Servicing Mission 3B: SM3B Discussion Board: General Discussion: Clemson connection

As the College Relations Director for Engineering and Science here at Clemson, I was surprised to see in some of the TV coverage that one of the astronauts was wearing what appeared to be a Clemson ball cap with a tiger paw logo. I checked their bios but could not find an obvious connection. Could you tell me if indeed the cap is a Clemson cap, and if so, what's the connection?

You can go to ask the crew a question to ask that.

Good luck.

My mom and I saw a satelite this morning while delivering papers about 5:40 am (mst). It seemed to be to low and bright and the wrong color for a regular satelite and we were wondering if it was the shuttle. Can anyone tell me where we could find the flight path for the shuttle?

OK, I think I saw a Clemson cap tonight. I'm not sure who was wearing it, but I think it was Scott Altmann. You could try the webmaster's suggestion and ask him directly.

Why isn't there a Hubble Fact Sheet for the DBA2/DBC? At the very least a mention of it on the Solar Array Fact sheet is in order.

To Dave:
Thanks for the follow-up. I sent a message to the crew, but I know those guys/gal have their hands full.

To mark:
I do not have a fact sheet, but a personal web page on the build-up of the DBA2/DBC:
