Far from the most significant mission, but the onlY one I know personally
of, is a benchmark "get-away special" package developed by Jim Barrowman.
It is a test "special" designed to what engineers THINK are the necessary
tolerances, requirements, environmental specifications, etc. that all future
get-away specials will be required to adhere to.  If this one fails to work
for one reason or another, they can change the specifications as necessary
before destroying some poor experimenter's equipment in a real get-away special.
