STS-93 Crew Interview: Jeff AshbyLive footage of a preflight interview with Pilot Jeffrey S. Ashby is presented. The interview addresses many different questions including why Ashby wanted to be an astronaut, how he feels about being the rookie on this launch, and what he expects to feel when he lifts off. Other interesting information that this one-on-one interview discusses is the deployment of the Chandra satellite, why people care about x ray energy, whether or not Chandra will compliment the other X Ray Observatories currently in operation, and his responsibilities during the major events of this mission. The Southwest Research Ultraviolet Imaging System (SWUIS) on board Columbia, and the two observatories presently in orbit (Gamma Ray Observatory, and Hubble Space Telescope) are also discussed.
