I know for a fact that there is more going on in this flight than just USMP-2,
since I am working on an experiment project that will be flying on the OAST-2
carrier also slated for that flight.  I believe the manifested missions listed
represent the major effort of the flight and not a sum total of all activities
that will be done.  

I can't speak for what else is being done on this flight, but I am *really*
looking forward to it! (somewhat biased of course :)
