STS-69 Flight Day 9 Video File

The song, 'He's A Tramp', from the Walt Disney cartoon movie, 'Lady and the Tramp', awakened the astronauts, Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss, Jim Newman, and Mike Gernhardt, on the ninth day of the STS-69 mission. The Wake Shield Facility (WSF) was again unberthed from the shuttle cargo bay and , using the shuttle's robot arm, held over the side of the shuttle for five hours where it collected data on the electrical field build-up around the spacecraft as part of the Charging Hazards and Wake Studies Experiment (CHAWS). Voss and Gernhardt rehearsed their Extravehicular Activity (EVA) spacewalk, which was planned for the next day. Earth views included cloud cover, a hurricane, and its eye.

STS-74 Flight Day 2

On the second day of the STS-74 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Kenneth Cameron, Pilot James Halsell, and Mission Specialists William McArthur, Jerry Ross, and Chris Hadfield, were awakened to music from the play 'The Nutcracker'. The astronauts hosted an in-orbit interview with Canadian reporters and journalists from Toronto, answering general questions about living in space and space flight, and explaining the delicate maneuvers that the shuttle will have to perform for the Mir docking procedures scheduled for the next day. Due to the awkward angle that the shuttle will use to approach the Mir, the docking procedure will be done in an almost blind state.

Mission Commander Tom Henricks responded to Mission Control's wake up call by saying that the five US-born crew members were very proud to be Americans, particularly on the day America celebrates its 220th anniversary. Work in the Spacelab module will continue with investigations into the effects of microgravity on muscle strength and endurance, lung function, and adaptation of the neurovestibular system to a microgravity environment. Henricks and Pilot Kevin Kregel will complete work with a laptop computer designed to test the crew's critical thinking skills and reaction time. They also will test a voice control system that allows them to reposition Columbia's closed-circuit television cameras with verbal cues, keeping their hands free to perform other tasks.
