This video contains important visual events including launch, Ulysses' deployment, onboard crew activities, and landing. The videotape also includes air-to-ground transmission between the crew and Mission Control.
This video recounts the Apollo 11 Mission which took ten years of preparation and the work of over a half a million people, culminating in the first manned lunar landing on July 20, 1969. Historical footage is accompanied by a narrated account of the mission. The footage includes preparation for launch, takeoff, stage separation, docking in space the Eagle Lunar Lander, shots of the Earth and Moon from space, Michael Collins orbiting the Moon in the Columbia Orbiter, Edwin Aldrin and Neil Armstrong walking on the Moon, setting up a Solar Wind experiment, collecting lunar samples, shots aboard the U.S.S. Hornet, retrieval of the astronauts after splashdown, and the parade given in honor of the astronauts.

This contains important visual events including launch, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) capture, repair and re-deployment, onboard activities, earth views, and landing. Also included is the air-to-ground transmission between the crew and Mission Control.
The video contains important visual events including Space Radar Laboratory-2, Get Away Special canisters, Commercial Protein Crystal Growth, Biological Research in Canisters, Cosmic Radiation Effects and Activation Monitor, Military Applications of Ship Tracks, other onboard activities, earth views, and landing. Also includes Air-to-ground transmission between the crew and Mission control.
This video (JSC1472) contains important visual events including launch, SPARTAN 204, SPACEHAB-03, CGP/ODERACS, and the rendezvous with the MIR Space Station, along with onboard activities, and landing. Also included are air-to-ground transmission between the crew and Mission, and various earthviews.
On the third day of the STS-69 mission, the flight crew (Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss, Mike Gernhardt, and Jim Newman) test the Orbital Maneuvering System and prepare for the retrieval of the SPARTAN satellite with a checkout procedure of the space shuttle's robot arm. Physiological and chemical experiments on fluid dynamics are conducted as part of the Sea Lab project. Urine and blood samples from the crew are collected and studied under microgravity conditions, and a slime mold experiment is conducted to determine the properties of motion, growth, and chemistry in zero gravity conditions. Earth views include cloud cover, a hurricane, and a close-up of its eye.
In this second part of a two part video set of the mission of STS-44, an in-orbit press conference was held. The astronauts (Cmdr. Fred Gregory, Pilot Tom Hendricks, Payload Specialist Tom Hennen, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss, Story Musgrave, and Mario Runco) conversed via satellite with the Johnson Press Center at the Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Journalists asked questions regarding the mission, the status of the mission's experiments, the problems with living in a microgravity environment, upcoming NASA space programs, and future objectives of the Space Shuttle missions.
In this second day of the STS-69 mission, the SPARTAN-201 satellite is deployed. The SPARTAN satellite is being used for the study of solar physics. An in-orbit interview is conducted with crew member, Mission Specialist Jim Newman, by KABC 7.90 Talk Radio. Newman answers questions from station listeners regarding the mission, future NASA objectives, present NASA objectives, and general questions regarding living in space. The remaining crew members include Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss and Mike Gernhardt.
On this eleventh day of the STS-69 flight, the astronauts, Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss, Jim Newman, and Mike Gernhardt were awakened to the theme song for the cartoon 'Charlie Brown. ' The crew spent most of the day preparing the shuttle for reentry and landing. Several reporters interviewed the crew via a satellite link. Questions ranging from the status and problems with the mission to NASA's future were asked. Walker and Cockrell performed a successful landing of the space shuttle at Kennedy Space Center.
On the fourth day of the STS-69 mission, the astronauts, Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss, Jim Newman, and Mike Gernhardt, were awakened by 5 year old Madeline Cockrell (Ken Cockrell's daughter) singing the song 'Bingo Was His Name.' The interception and retrieval of the SPARTAN-201 satellite was the first task of the day. The SPARTAN-201's mission was the study of the solar corona and the solar wind. The rest of the day was spent preparing for the deployment of the Wake Shield Facility (WSF), whose purpose during its two day orbit of the Earth, is to grow films for semiconductors in a vacuum-like environment. Earth views included some cloud cover and different areas of South America.
After being awakened by the Beatles song, 'A Hard Days Night', the flightcrew of the STS-69 mission, Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss, Jim Newman, and Mike Gernhardt, began their sixth day in orbit by monitoring the free orbiting Wake Shield Facility (WSF). Later Cmdr. Walker conducted an interview with television reporters from Atlanta and Boston, answering questions about the mission and general questions about NASA's space program. The crew filmed a video for themselves performing daily routines (eating, shaving, exercising), as well as some of the physiological experiments, and shuttle equipment maintenance and checkout. One of the secondary experiments included the Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus-7 (CGBA-7), which served as an incubator and experiment station for a variety of tests (agricultural, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and environmental). Earth views included some cloud cover, the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, and the Atlantic Ocean.
In honor of the Extravehicular Activity (EVA) spacewalk today, the tenth day of the STS-69 mission, the astronauts, Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss, Jim Newman, and Mike Gernhardt, were awakened to the Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons tune, 'Walk Like A Man.' Voss and Gernhardt tested the new thermal spacesuits and some new tools in the shuttle's cargo bay for six hours. The EVA was successful. The rest of the astronauts monitored the EVA and packed up the equipment and experiments in preparation for their reentry flight tomorrow.
