["Farrell Winder" <fwinder@xxxxxxx>]

	In a previous message today, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO has provided a good
summary of the current state of Mir as reported in various News media.  
	For those that would like to see a picture of the three  aboard the Mir
Space Station, MSNBC is running a story  showing  a picture transmitted via
Amateur Radio SSTV of French Astronaut Jean-Pierre Haignere,  together with
 Cosmonauts  Viktor Afanasyev,  Commander and Sergei Avdeyev, Flight
Engineer.  This picture and story may be found at:

	Jean-Pierre was heard to remark this morning as he passed over the USA at
approximately 12:22 UTC ---  that everything is not so bad now that the
modem (Amateur Radio modem) is working again ---- concerning the pressure,
well we investigated but nothing really extremely serious.
