STS-82 Flight Day 08 Highlights

The eighth day of the STS-82 mission begins with the crew, Commander Kenneth D. Bowersox, Pilot Scott J. Horowitz, Payload Commander Mark C. Lee, and Mission Specialists Gregory J. Harbaugh, Steven L. Smith, Joseph R. Tanner, and Steven A. Hawley performing the final spacewalk of the mission. Lee and Smith attach several thermal insulation blankets to three equipment compartments at the top of the Support Systems Module section of Hubble which contain key data processing, electronics and scientific instrument telemetry packages. Following the completion of that work, Lee and Smith briefly return to the airlock while flight controllers evaluated a possible glitch with one of four Reaction Wheel Assembly units in Hubble used to maneuver the telescope for its scientific observations. A spare Reaction Wheel Assembly was available aboard Discovery for a swap out during an additional spacewalk had it been necessary, but a few hours later, after further analysis, payload controllers reported that the Reaction Wheel Assembly was in excellent shape and operating at the proper speed.

STS-84 Day 08 Highlights

On this eighth day of the STS-84 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Charles J. Precourt, Pilot Eileen M. Collins, Payload Cmdr, Jean-Francois Clervoy (ESA), Mission Specialists Edward T. Lu, Carlos I. Noriega, Elena V. Kondakova, Jerry M. Linenger (download), and C. Michael Foale (upload) sing 'The Cosmonauts' Song' to Mir-23 crew members Vasily Tsibliev, Alexander Lazutkin and astronaut Mike Foale, who is beginning his four-month research mission on Mir. Foale and his new crewmates played music as Atlantis departed following the joint phase of the flight. Atlantis' undocking from Mir was modified from previous joint missions in that a flyaround of the station for photographic purposes was not conducted. Instead, Pilot Eileen Collins guided Atlantis below the Mir after the two spacecraft completed their physical separation, stopping three times at distances of 90, 300 and 1,500 feet to collect data from a European sensor device designed to assist future rendezvous of a proposed European Space Agency resupply vehicle with the International Space Station. Once the data collection was completed, the shuttle took advantage of natural orbital mechanics to drift beneath and out in front of Mir.

STS-94 Day 08 Highlights

On this eighth day of the STS-94 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. James D. Halsell, Jr., Pilot Susan L. Still, Payload Cmdr. Janice E. Voss, Mission Specialists Michael L. Gernhardt and Donald A. Thomas, and Payload Specialists Gregory T. Linteris and Roger K. Crouch conduct status checks and perform video documentation of some of the Microgravity Science Laboratory experiments and activities in the Spacelab. The first part of Pilot Susan Still's day involves monitoring orbiter systems and working an in-flight maintenance procedure with the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX).

STS-85 Day 08 Highlights

On this eighth day of the STS-85 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Curtis L. Brown, Jr., Pilot Kent V. Rominger, Payload Cmdr. N. Jan Davis (Ph.D.), Mission Specialists Robert L. Curbeam, Jr. and Stephen K. Robinson (Ph.D.), and Payload Specialist Bjarni V. Tryggvason entered the final portion of its flight. The new Mir 24 crew of Commander Anatoly Solovyev and Flight Engineer Pavel Vinogradov, who arrived on the station the same day Discovery was launched, bid farewell to Mir 23 Commander Vasily Tsibliev and Flight Engineer Alexander Lazutkin who are returning home after 185 days in space. The Soyuz vehicle carrying the Mir 23 crew home undocked from the station. Robinson again used the Southwest Ultraviolet Imaging System (SWUIS), a 7-inch imaging telescope that is pointed out of the orbiter's middeck hatch window, to observe the Hale-Bopp comet. Curbeam continued his work with the Bioreactor Demonstration System designed to perform cell biology experiments under controlled conditions. Tryggvason spent part of his time troubleshooting a computer hard drive system that supports the Microgravity Vibration Isolation Mount experiment.

STS-87 Day 08 Highlights

On this eighth day of the STS-87 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Kevin R. Kregel, Pilot Steven W. Lindsey, Mission Specialists Winston E. Scott, Kalpana Chawla, and Takao Doi, and Payload Specialist Leonid K. Kadenyuk take time out from their duties to be interviewed by CNN. As they reach the one week mark in their 16-day flight, the STS-87 crew shift the focus of their efforts towards the variety of science experiments flying on this mission.

STS-89 Day 08 Highlights

On this eighth day of the STS-89 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Terrence W. Wilcutt, Pilot Frank Edwards, and Mission Specialists Michael P. Anderson, James F. Reilly, Bonnie J. Dunbar, Salizhan Shakirovich Sharipov, David A. Wolf and Andrew S.W. Thomas, prepare to conclude their joint mission with the crew of the Mir. Endeavour separates from the Russian Space Station with a gentle push from springs in the docking mechanism attaching it to the Space Station. Following a flyaround of the station to gather additional photography of the outpost, Pilot Joe Edwards conducts a final separation maneuver to allow Endeavour to drift away from the Mir.

STS-90 Day 08 Highlights

On this eighth day of the STS-90 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Richard A. Searfoss, Pilot Scott D. Altman, and Mission Specialists Richard M. Linnehan, Dafydd Rhys Williams and Kathryn P. Hire, and Payload Specialists Jay C. Buckey and James A. Pawelczyk continue to operate the 26 individual experiments designed to provide insight into the operation of the nervous system, the most complex and least well-known part of the human body. The STS-90 crew members have used themselves as test subjects in a variety of experiments associated with studying functions such as blood pressure regulation , balance, coordination and sleep patterns. They also have studied a variety of animals to gain additional insight into the effects of the weightless environment of space on the development and performance of the nervous system.
