Speaking of the Space Shuttle launch, on May 15, 1997, 2 astronauts with Hawai'i connections, Ed Lu and Carlos Nobriega, docked with the Russian space station for 9 days while on board the space shuttle Atlantis. What was their Hawai'i connection and what did Ed Lu bring aboard the flight?

From 1992-95, Ed Lu was a post-doctoral fellow at UH's Institute for Astronomy. Carlos Noriega was stationed at Kaneohe Marine Base from 1983-85. Ed Lu took Kona coffee, macadamia nuts, Hawaiian bird feathers and a fishhook on his space flight.
