SPACE STATION LOOKS INTO EYE OF RECORD-SETTING HURRICANE

Television cameras aboard the international space station are showing
dramatic views of record-setting Hurricane Wilma. The video captured today
from 222 miles above the storm is airing on the NASA TV Video File segment.

The station's cameras viewed the storm at about 9:22 a.m. EDT, as the
orbiting laboratory passed directly over the hurricane's eye. The category
five storm was located in the Caribbean Sea, 340 miles southeast of Cozumel,
Mexico. Station cameras are expected to obtain additional video during
passes above the storm.

NASA TV is available on the Web and on an MPEG-2 digital signal accessed via
satellite AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude, transponder 17C, 4040 MHz,
vertical polarization. It's available in Alaska and Hawaii on AMC-7 at 137
degrees west longitude, transponder 18C, at 4060 MHz, horizontal
polarization. A Digital Video Broadcast compliant Integrated Receiver
Decoder is required for reception. For NASA TV information and schedules on
the Web, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv

NASA satellite images of the storm are available on the Web at:

Astronaut William McArthur and Flight Engineer Valery Tokarev are in the
first month of a six-month flight on the station. For more information,
