STS-88 Post Flight PresentationThe flight crew of the STS-88 mission, Commander Robert D. Cabana, Pilot Frederick W. Sturckow, and Mission Specialists Nancy J. Currie, Jerry L. Ross, James H. Newman, and Sergei K. Krikalev, present a video mission over-view of their space flight. Images include prelaunch activities such as eating the traditional breakfast, crew suit-up, and the ride out to the launch pad. Also, included are various panoramic views of the shuttle on the pad. The crew can be seen being 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. Once the seven-day mission begins, the astronauts comment on the mating of the U.S.-built Node 1 station element to the Functional Energy Block (FGB) which was already in orbit, and two EVAs that were planned to connect power and data transmission cables between the Node and the FGB. The crew can also be seen conducting a series of rendezvous maneuvers similar to those conducted on other Shuttle missions to reach the orbiting FGB.
