Rocket Launches in 1992
Spaceflight in 1992: Russia inherits most of the Soviet space program, including Mir, while its main launch site, Baikonur, now lies in independent Kazakhstan. In May Endeavour's first crew grabs the stranded Intelsat 603 by hand during the first three-person spacewalk and fits it with a new motor. Mae Jemison becomes the first African American woman in space in September.
