The STS-69 mission of the Endeavour Space Shuttle and crew are highlighted in this video. The 'Dog Crew', as they called themselves, Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Mike Gernhardt, Jim Voss, and Jim Newman, are shown performing pre-launch and launch activities; the SPARTAN-201 and the Wake Shield Facility (WSF) deployments, retrievals, and berthings; physiological and other Middeck experiments; and jet thruster firing tests on the WSF. A 6 1/2 hour EVA was conducted to test the thermal properties of the new space suits and to test the tools and equipment to be used in the construction of the International Space Station. General crew activities are also shown and Earth views include cloud cover and the WSF with the Earth as the background.
