STS-87 Day 06 Highlights

On this sixth 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 begin the final preparations for the EVA by Scott and Doi. They are to manually capture the SPARTAN Satellite. After this is accomplished they are to test tools and techniques that will be required for the assembly of the International Space Station.

STS-87 Day 13 Highlights

On this thirteenth 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 continue work in the mini laboratory called the microgravity glovebox facility. This facility allows crew members to interactively work with two different experiments today studying the formation of composite materials in an attempt to accurately map the roles of gravity-induced convection and sedimentation on the samples.

STS-85 Mission Highlights Resources Tape

The flight crew of STS-85, 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, present an overview of their mission. During the pre-launch activities the shuttle is shown being mated to the external tank and Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs). Also included: is the arrival of the crew at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), their suit-up, the crew being transported to the pad, being strapped in, and launch control activities. The launch includes the count down, main engine start-up, SRB start-up, the launch, the roll maneuver and SRB separation. Once the crew is in orbit, they deploy the CRISTA-SPAS payload and conduct various micro-gravity experiments. In the last part of the video the crew is seen preparing for the landing phase of the 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-89 Mission Highlights Resource Tape

The flight crew of the STS-89 Space Shuttle Orbiter Endeavour, 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, present an overview of their mission.

The crew is readied in the white room' for their mission. After the closing of the hatch and arm retraction, launch activities are shown including countdown, engine ignition, launch, and the separation of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs). Once in orbit, there are various views of the Mir Space Station as the shuttle begins its approach and docks. After the docking the two crews open the entry hatch and greet each other. The astronauts and cosmonauts transfer supplies from the shuttle to Mir. The astronauts prepare for the reentry phase of their mission. Endeavour separates from the Russian Space Station with a gentle push from springs in the docking mechanism that attaches it to the Space Station. The final view shows the crews' preparations for reentry and landing.

STS-90 Day 13 Highlights

On this thirteenth 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 once agian take part in a variety of human autonomic experiments designed to examine blood pressure regulation in microgravity. Crew members repeat an experiment in which they use an innovative technique called microneurography. This involves placing a very fine needle in a nerve just below the knee, allowing nerve signals traveling from the brain to the blood vessels to be measured directly while the cardiovascular system is challenged using the Lower Body Negative Pressure device. LBNP is a hi-tech canister that pulls bodily fluids into the lower extremities, simulating the effect of standing on Earth.

STS-90 Day 09 Highlights

On this ninth day of the STS-90 mission, the sleep period of 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, is interrupted due to problems with equipment that removes carbon dioxide from the cabin atmosphere. Because of this, Columbia's crew went to bed about two hours later than scheduled.

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.

STS-90 Day 07 Highlights

On this seventh 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 experiments that looks at the autonomic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that automatically controls blood pressure. These investigations are designed to uncover changes that take place in blood pressure control during space flight. Crewmembers use the Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) device which places a stress on the cardiovascular system similar to what is experienced when standing in Earth's gravity environment.
