All aboard the Pluto-Kuiper Express

PKEWith NASA/JPL’s Pluto Fast Flyby mission cancelled, a new mission is proposed by several scientists and engineers, including veterans of the Voyager program, to send a small spacecraft to Pluto. Originally named Pluto Express, and later Pluto-Kuiper Express, the unmanned spacecraft would be armed with a handful of scientific instruments (as opposed to Pluto Fast Flyby’s camera-only proposal). Plans call for launch via a Delta Heavy rocket or from the cargo bay of a Space Shuttle in 2004, a Jupiter gravity assist flyby in 2006, and a Pluto flyby in 2012. Though there are early talks with the Russian space program about including landers or penetrators, that element of the mission is dropped soon afterward.

Soyuz TM-24

Soyuz TM-24Soyuz TM-24 is launched from Russia, on a mission to dock with the Mir space station. Aboard are cosmonauts Valery Korzun and Aleksandr Kaleri, who stay aboard Mir for 196 days, and visiting French spationaut Claudie André-Deshays, the first French woman in space, who stays aboard Mir for 16 days before returning to Earth with the station’s previous crew aboard Soyuz TM-23. Korzun and Kaleri will return to Earth in March 1997.

From Battleground to Final Conflict

Gene Roddenberry's Battleground EarthBroadcasting & Cable Weekly Magazine reveals that Majel Barrett Roddenberry and Tribune Entertainment have sealed a deal to produce a series first outlined by the late Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry in the 1970s, Battleground Earth. Budgeted at $1,000,000 per episode, the series will be based on a series pitch that nearly resulted in a pilot for 20th Century Fox in 1977, until Roddenberry’s attention was refocused on the impending TV revival of Star Trek for the never-launched Paramount Television Service, which then became Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Then in the 1980s, Kenneth Johnson’s V, following a very similar story outline, became a hit, leaving Battleground Earth unusable for a time. This series will premiere in syndication in late 1997 under the title Gene Roddenberry’s Earth: Final Conflict.

The Cape

The CapeThe first episode of the science fiction series The Cape premieres in syndication in North America, starring Corbin Bernsen (L.A. Law) and Adam Baldwin. With cooperation from NASA, frequent location filming at Cape Canaveral, and Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin as a technical consultant, and banking on the recent box office success of Apollo 13, the series focuses on a fictionalized version of NASA’s shuttle program.
