No, the shuttle never landed on the moon. (At least
not that THEY've told
us about :-) Various shuttle missions have used the Compass, the 1910,
and the 1530.

Thanks. At first I felt
completely and totally foolish after stating
the 'gent' told me the Grid had been to the moon. Now I feel

In fact, NASA orignally funded GRiD to build the
Compass just for this
purpose, AFAIK. GRiD stood for Graphical Retreival Information Display or
somesuch terribly strained acronym.
Didn't know about that until now - I thought they where done as
som high class luxury toys (liek mountain boots for the office:)
