CBS Radio Correspondent Peter King On STS-115
Now that Atlantis is finally is
space... everything else seems to be going remarkably well. That
includes Tuesday's epic spacewalk at the International Space
Station... where two astronauts began the complex task of setting
up a huge solar array on a 17-and-a-half-ton truss erected by the
shuttle's robotic arm.
CBS News Radio Correspondent Peter King is standing by in
Orlando with more.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
Comair says the crew aboard Flight 5191 had outdated
charts.
They're staying ahead of schedule onboard
Atlantis...
And New York passes a measure requiring all prospective
pilots undergo background checks....
...And more.

products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
