Live footage of the (Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test) TCDT shows the crew of STS-88, Commander Robert D. Cabana, Pilot Frederick W. Sturckow, and Mission Specialists Nancy J. Curry, Jerry L. Ross, James H. Newman, and Sergei K. Krikalev, participating in a press conference. The moderator Bruce Buckingham is seen introducing Bob Cabana, who then introduces the rest of the crewmembers. Cabana explains the mission and addresses the flight day activities. He includes the building of the Node 1 station element to the Functional Energy Block (FGB) which will already be in orbit, and two space-walks to connect power and data transmission cables. The crewmembers took turn answering questions from both the audience and via radio communication with the Johnson Space Center.
The primary objective of the STS-99 mission was to complete high resolution mapping of large sections of the Earth's surface using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), a specially modified radar system. This radar system produced unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth's Surface. The mission was launched at 12:31 on February 11, 2000 onboard the space shuttle Endeavour, and led by Commander Kevin Kregel. The crew was Pilot Dominic L. Pudwill Gorie and Mission Specialists Janet L. Kavandi, Janice E. Voss, Mamoru Mohri from the National Space Development Agency (Japanese Space Agency), and Gerhard P. J. Thiele from DARA (German Space Agency). This videotape shows a press briefing about a mechanical problem that the shuttle was having. There was discussion about possibly scrubbing the launch due to the problem with the Enhanced Master Events Controller. A problem with a fuel pump part had also become evident and there was discussion about the impact that this could have on the flight.

This video presents a post-launch press conference on the STS-31 Hubble Space Telescope. Dick Young, Kennedy Space Center Public Affairs, introduces the panel. The panel consists of Robert Sieck, Kennedy Space Center Launch Director, and George T. Sassen, Director Shuttle Engineer. The STS-31 launch was accomplished with very few problems. Terminal count was started and then stopped at 31 seconds because the software sensed that a valve was not positioned correctly. The valve was positioned correctly, the count was resumed, and the launch was carried out safely and successfully. George T. Sassen explains, in detail, how the problem was corrected.
