STS-69 Flight Day 10 Highlights

Abstract

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.
