Unofficial records of research rocket airplanes with physical characteristics
On this seventh day of the STS-78 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Terence T. Henricks, Pilot Kevin R. Kregel, Payload Cmdr. Susan J. Helms, Mission Specialists Richard M. Linnehan, Charles E. Brady, Jr., and Payload Specialists Jean-Jacques Favier, Ph.D. and Robert B. Thirsk, M.D., continue as test subjects in a series of investigations that seek to understand the effects of microgravity on the human musculoskeletal system. As they approach the half-way mark of a possible record-setting Space Shuttle mission, the crew of Columbia continues its full schedule of life science and microgravity experiments.
