Barbara MorganAstronaut Barbara Morgan is also a teacher. Several educational sessions are scheduled for the STS-118 mission.

Students from Challenger Learning Centers interact with Astronauts on Wednesday August 15th at 11am and 3pm; Shuttle Downlink with astronauts Barbara Morgan and Rick Mastracchio on Thursday August 16.(more info)

I am watching Barbara Morgan live on the NASA TV as she uses the shuttle's arm to install the external stowage platform. Yesterday a new gyroscope was installed. To follow activities I recommend these links:

• status reports of space mission STS-118.
• photogallery
• STS-118 Index
• Mission overview
• multimedia index
• NASA TV (windows media)

I use the windows media link because it allows full screen viewing. If you want to use other video formats they are here.
