STS-93 Flight Day 2 Highlights and Crew ActivitiesFollowing an eight hour sleep period, the five member flight crew, Commander Eileen Collins, Pilot Jeff Ashby, and Mission Specialists Cady Coleman, Steve Hawley and Michael Tognini awakened to begin their second day in space. The main focus of Flight Day 2 activities was to activate the secondary payloads and experiments. Among those efforts was the set-up and first observations using the Southwest Ultraviolet Imaging System (SWUIS), which operates from inside the shuttle cabin. The specific targets observed included the Earth's moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. A break was taken at 4:36 a.m. CDT by Collins and Coleman to do interviews with reporters from 4 major networks.
