	CNN.com - Aboard Columbia: Nancy Currie - March 6, 2002
		Here's a long view from the shuttle out along the 50-foot robotic arm that Nancy Currie operates -- on the end of it is a foot platform where an astronaut can stand to be moved around by Currie during his work.
		Currie: I think pilots make good arm operators, because you're used to manipulating an aircraft and sort of always knowing where you are.
		Currie: If you ask me when I'm hovering a helicopter, "What inputs are you putting in?" I couldn't tell you because I'm just responding to the aircraft.

	Unity Ready For Zarya Mating
		Washington - December 7, 1998- Shuttle astronaut Nancy Currie was at the controls high above China where she gently mated the 12.8-ton Unity connecting module to Endeavour’s docking system late Saturday afternoon, completing the first major task in assembling ISS.
		Deftly manipulating the shuttle’s 50-foot-long robot arm, Currie placed Unity just inches above the extended outer ring on Endeavour’s docking mechanism, enabling Commander Bob Cabana to fire downward maneuvering jets, locking the shuttle’s docking system to one of two Pressurized Mating Adapters (PMA’s) attached to Unity.
		The astronauts also extended and retracted the docking ring on PMA-1, to which the Zarya module will be mated after it is grappled by Currie around 5:46 p.m.
