	Interview with Rhea Seddon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Rhea Seddon's childhood interests in space and life sciences led her to an MD and, subsequently, to become one of the first six women accepted into the astronaut corps.
		Seddon was involved with the development of SLS-1 and joined the crew as a mission specialist, helping to conduct much of the inflight science.
		According to Seddon, because of the extensive biospecimen sharing with foreign investigators, the dissection and biosampling became a complex procedure.

	Former NASA astronaut's skills, experience put to use at VUMC
		For Dr. Margaret Rhea Seddon, however, the journey from south Texas to the heart of Middle Tennessee took considerably longer, primarily because she took several detours into outer space as a scientist on board three different space shuttle missions.
		The flip side to Seddon's VMG duties is her work with Robertson to prepare an experiment for Neurolab, the 1998 shuttle mission dedicated to research on the human body's nervous system and behavior.
		Seddon flew on the shuttle in 1985, 1991 and again in 1993, where, as payload commander, she served as the mission's chief scientist.

	Discovery crew fails to activate satellite
		Rhea Seddon, using the long remote arm and two "swatters" devised in space and installed during a spacewalk Tuesday, yanked at the lever but either did not move it or the switches did not work.
		Seddon missed the latch on the first try but made solid contact on the second and third tries.
		The television picture sent from a camera on the end of the arm showed a slightly jerky movement as she closed in on the satellite, then the plastic swatter bent against the side of the moving satellite.

	Astronauts ready to swat $85 million satellite to life
		Seddon's job was to snag a little lever sticking out only an inch from the side of the slowly turning satellite.
		One of the tools looks like an oversized fly swatter and is made from plastic notebook covers and tape; the other is more of a noose of rubber tubing and wire made from the aluminum frame of a window shade.
		Engineers hope that Seddon will be able to snag the lever with the swatter or the noose and flip it to the on position.
