The STS-81 flight crew goes over checklists on the flight deck of Space Shuttle Atlantis during the final phase of the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test for the January 1997 mission. Crewmembers pictured, are (from left) Brent Jett pilot; Jeff Wisoff and John Grunsfeld, mission specialists; and Mike Baker, commander. The astronauts are in their flight positions with the orbiter in a vertical attitude at Launch pad 39B, with the camera pointed down from the forward cabin. This angle creates the illusion that astronaut Pam Melroy (in lab suit), mission support assistant, is floating in space. On the mid deck and out of frame are astronauts Marsha Ivins and Jerry Linenger. |
