From the "Gates of Splendor" to the International Space Station; Shuttle Astronaut Carries piece from Nate Saint's Plane"I've always had a heart for missions. When I visualize what I might do after I end my career at NASA, always in the back of my mind is going into the mission field in some way. If I could go tomorrow and be a pilot with an organization like MAF, I think that's what I'd do." (Cape Canaveral, Florida)?Proving that space flight is not the highest calling for a pilot, astronaut Patrick Forrester is taking a bit of missionary history onboard space shuttle "Discovery." The aim of the two-week orbital mission is to equip the International Space Station. (Discovery was scheduled to lift off on Tuesday, but bad weather forced a delay in the launch, which has been tentatively rescheduled.)

The piece is from the Piper's battery box and has received approval for the flight from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) after conforming to strict size and weight restrictions.
