On the fourth day of the next flight of the Discovery,
Spartan 1 will be deployed by the RMS.  Floating 100
miles away from the shuttle, it will peer towards the
galactic centre and probe for a possible black hole there,
measuring X-ray emmissions.  Then, on the 6th day of
the mission, the satellite will be picked up to be
returned to Earth for a future flight.
