Astronaut Wakata gives shuttle collages to young evacuees

TOKYO, Japan - Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata on Jan. 12 presents school children with collages commemorating a recent space shuttle mission in which he took part at Akikawa High School in Akiruno, western Tokyo. The children were evacuated from Miyakejima Island south of the capital following a series of volcanic eruptions there that started last June. The objective of Wakata's mission, completed last October, was to add components to the International Space Station.
