Program Description: New Emergency Response Teams will work with us on Mission: Montserrat. During the past few months, the volcano on this beautiful Caribbean island has threatened to erupt. Scientists have put volcanic-activity-measuring equipment at important locations on the island. This equipment helps us predict what will happen next. Because of the island's unique geologic formations, the sensors have not been gathering reliable data. We must keep gathering data about the island's volcanic activity. If we don't know what is going on, people's lives could be in danger. To replace the communication system on the island, we will be using e-Mission Headquarters' Low Earth Orbiting satellite. Just before the scheduled e-Mission: Montserrat, a Space Shuttle must be launched. The crew will upgrade the Low Earth Orbiting satellite. |
