STS-70 Flight: Day 2

Abstract

The second day of STS-70 Space Shuttle Discovery mission is contained on this video. The crew is shown onboard the Shuttle working on a variety of secondary experiments. These range from the Hercules camera, which imprints the latitude and longitude of areas photographed on Earth, to the WINDEX, which studies of the glow created as the Shuttle's surfaces interact with atomic oxygen in low Earth orbits. Also featured are astronauts Henricks, Kregel, and Weber answering questions from the general public via use of The New York Times On-Line Services.
