STS-77 Flight Day 5On this fifth day of the STS-77 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. John H. Casper, Pilot Curtis L. Brown, Jr., and Mission Specialists Andrew S.W. Thomas, Ph.D., Daniel W. Bursch, Mario Runco, Jr., and Marc Garneau, Ph.D., spend the first half of their workday assisting payload controllers with investigations into materials processing of samples and the growth of crystals. The progress of starfish and mussel development in a spaceborne aquarium in the Spacehab module in the Shuttle's cargo bay is seen. The crew then move off in different directions to support work with many of the experiments that make up the fourth mission of the Spacehab pressurized module. Endeavour is about 64 miles away from the Passive Aerodynamically Stabilized Magnetically Damped Satellite-Satellite Test Unit, or PAMS-STU, which was deployed from a canister in the payload bay on day four. Since mission day five coincided with Memorial Day , the crew started the 'Indy 500' from earth orbit.
