NEW SHUTTLE PRESS KIT MAKES ONLINE DEBUT
     The STS-95 press kit is now online, inaugurating a new service that
will enable members of the news media and the public to obtain access to
each mission's information earlier and with more detail
than ever before. 
     The press kit can be accessed on the World-Wide Web at:
                      www.shuttlepresskit.com. 
     The menu of options available includes a mission profile;  mission
summary; flight plan; objectives and experiment information;  crew
information; payloads and links to other related websites; as well as a
variety of other items.  Each option on the menu contains a number of
sub-topics and links to other related NASA sites, creating the most
comprehensive press kit ever offered by NASA and its
contractor partners. 
     The new online press kit was a collaborative effort between
NASA, United Space Alliance and Boeing North American.
