The 35-year-old entered Russia's air force academy and became a pilot. His father flew three space missions and was on the Mir station when the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. "I'm very happy that we have formed a real space dynasty, and that I am not the only founder of such dynasty," Alexander Volkov told a news conference after the docking, gesturing at Owen Garriott. Volkov, 60, said he was eagerly awaiting his son's return and suggested he felt a little jealous of the younger generation of space travelers.

Garriott chuckled and said, "I can fly." Garriott flew up to the station with Russian cosmonaut Yuri Lonchakov and U.S. astronaut Michael Fincke, who are scheduled to spend six months in orbit. Garriott is due to return to Earth on Oct. 24 with Volkov and Oleg Kononenko, who have been on the station since April. Garriott will spend 10 days conducting experiments some for sponsors that helped foot the reported $30 million bill for his trip.

He will photograph Earth to measure environmental damage and the effects of conservation since his father took extensive pictures from the U.S. station Skylab in 1973. "There's a lot of work to do," said Owen Garriott, who said he was glad to see his son achieve his dream. "I never thought he would have the chance, 30 years ago." Sergei Volkov, the first person to follow a parent into space, took a more traditional Dmitry Lovetsky assi I 'i El phi Space tourist Richard Garriott, shown before Sunday's launch, arrived Tuesday at the international space station as his father, a former astronaut, watched from Russian Mission Control. "I woke up one recent morning and thought why shouldn't I fly to space again?" he said.

"I did some exercises, felt good and thought: why not?" Owen Garriott liked the idea. "I think if we could go together, that might be a good idea," Owen Garriott said. "But perhaps we are not old enough yet." ard Garriott, 47, and his two crewmates floated through a hatch and onto the station, where they got bear hugs from Sergei Volkov and the other two men aboard.

The computer game designer was greeted by another man who has made space flight a family tradition: Russian cosmonaut Sergei Volkov, whose father is a decorated veteran of the Soviet space program.

Both proud fathers Owen Garriott with a U.S. flag patch on his jacket and Alexander Volkov with a Soviet medal pinned to his chest watched on a screen at Russian Mission Control as the Soyuz craft that delivered Garriott docked flawlessly with the station. "It's looking great, and they are starting off on a fascinating new adventure," Owen Garriott said. About 90 minutes later, Rich- NASA plans EASX1ATEL PRESS WASHINGTON NASA engineers say they know how to fix the broken Hubble Space Telescope: They have to wake up computer parts that have been sleeping in space for more than 18 years. Today, NASA will start a complicated remote-control fix of a major glitch that stopped the telescope from capturing and beaming down pictures.

If all goes well, the Hubble should be able to again send stunning astronomy photos back to Earth by Friday, officials said. The abrupt failure more than two weeks ago caused NASA to postpone its Hubble upgrade shuttle mission from October to February. The delay is costing NASA about $10 million a month, officials said Tuesday.

"Hi, Peter Pan," his girlfriend, Kelly Miller, said during the video link. Richard Whipple said. One thing in NASA's favor, he said, is that space is "a very benign storage environment." The aging of electronics on Earth by corrosion and contamination by dust doesn't occur in space.

Things do break, however, as evidenced by the problems the telescope has suffered since the last repair mission in 2002. On the planned repair flight, astronauts on the space shuttle are to install an ultraviolet spectrograph and a wide-field camera as well as repair failed electronics on the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and the Advanced Camera for Surveys. The Hubble also needs a new set of gyroscopes. "Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever," Whipple said. Additional material from the Los Angeles Times.

Science data will be rerouted to that system, the equivalent of driving a route that hasn't been used before. Art Whipple, manager of the Hubble systems management office, said he's confident the backup system will work but "it's obviously a possibility that things will not come up." Early today, a team of about 40 engineers at NASA's God-dard Space Flight Center in suburban Maryland will send hundreds of lines of complicated code up to the Hubble.

The entire observatory will be put into safe mode for the sixth time in its history as computer codes are rerouted. There is a risk that it won't come out of safe mode, but it is unlikely that the repairs will worsen the Hubble's condition, jitrtik iftHtRf ilitcft Georgetown Wolf Ranch Town Center (512)931-2827 Vi' multiple pain.
