But, as you know, this mission carries with it some spectacular baggage.

Although no astronauts were in the Shenzhou craft this time, future missions will carry people.

But a mission has never carried a cargo quite like the one scheduled for a space shuttle flight next month: about 6,000 American flags.

This mission will carry a crew of four, maybe six.

The mission carries a start-up cost of $41 million, with America billed roughly one-third.

The mission carried various animals, including two squirrel monkeys.

Each individual mission carries one to three stars, depending on its difficulty.

Furthermore, such missions carry a great deal of public outreach potential, which is an important attribute for space exploration when it comes to publicity.

These missions carry a risk of death towards the agent, as is the case with spies.

The mission would carry five instruments on the orbiter.
