STS-86 Day 03 Highlights

On this third day of the STS-86 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. James D. Wetherbee, Jr., Pilot Michael J. Bloomfield, Mission Specialists Scott E. Parazynski, Jean-Loup Chretien, Vladimir G. Titov, Wendy B. Lawrence and David A. Wolf conduct a series of engine firings that are designed to refine Atlantis' approach to Mir. With his crewmates providing range rate and closure data obtained from a variety of tools on board, Wetherbee manually flys Atlantis up toward Mir. After docking, the hatches between the two vehicles are swung open allowing Wetherbee and Mir Commander Anatoly Solovyev to greet each other in the airlock. Wetherbee hands Solovyev a new computer for the Mir which was brought into orbit by Atlantis for installation following the docking phase of the mission. The ten crewmembers spend a few minutes greeting one another at the start of their joint work which will involve the transfer of some four tons of supplies and water from Atlantis to the Mir.

STS-86 Day 04 Highlights

On this fourth day of the STS-86 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. James D. Wetherbee, Jr., Pilot Michael J. Bloomfield, Mission Specialists Scott E. Parazynski, Jean-Loup Chretien, Vladimir G. Titov, Wendy B. Lawrence and David A. Wolf spend their first full day aboard the Atlantis-Mir space complex. The ten astronauts and cosmonauts begin the transfer of more than four tons of supplies. With that transfer, Mike Foale will conclude 134 days as a Mir crew member and board Atlantis as a member of the STS-86 crew. Foale spends time with Wolf, acquainting him with his new home and showing him the location of experiments and hardware.

STS-86 Day 07 Highlights

On this seventh day of the STS-86 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. James D. Wetherbee, Jr., Pilot Michael J. Bloomfield, Mission Specialists Scott E. Parazynski, Jean-Loup Chretien, Vladimir G. Titov, Wendy B. Lawrence and Mike Foale are seen in preparations for a planned five-hour spacewalk to retrieve four experiment packages and to test tools and techniques for construction of the International Space Station. Parazynski and Titov are seen floating out of a hatch on Atlantis' tunnel adapter in front of the Orbiter Docking System to begin their spacewalk. They then affix a 121-pound instrument called a Solar Array Cap to the Docking Module for future use by Russian cosmonauts to seal off a suspected breach in the hull of the Spektr Module.
