STS-88 Day 07 Highlights

Abstract

On this seventh day of the STS-88 mission, the flight crew, Commander Robert D. Cabana, Pilot Frederick W. Sturckow, and Mission Specialists Nancy J. Currie, James H. Newman, Jerry L. Ross, and Sergei Krikalev are seen preparing for a 6-1/2 hour space walk. During this walk Newman and Ross install two box-like antennas on the outside of the Unity module. In addition they remove launch restraints over four hatchways, install insulating covers on the trunnion pins, and free one of two balky antennas on Zarya's backup rendezvous navigation system.
