STS-104 Flight Day 9 Highlights

On this ninth day of the STS-104 mission, Mike Gernhardt and Jim Reilly are seen in the newly installed Quest Airlock performing a dry run for flight day ten's spacewalks' preparations. The crews of STS-104 (Commander Steven Lindsey, Pilot Charles Hobaugh, and Mission Specialists Mike Gernhardt, Jim Reilly, and Janet Kavandi) and Expedition 2 (Commander Yuriy Usachev and Flight Engineers James Voss and Susan Helms) answer questions about the STS-104 mission, the next day's spacewalks, and Expedition 2's stay on the International Space Station during an on-orbit interview. An external shot of the Atlantis Orbiter shows a water dump as it leaves the Shuttle and dissipates into space. Commander Lindsey gives a guided video tour of the Quest Airlock, displaying equipment and summarizing its purpose.
