The
Crew and Mission from the
Space Shuttle Mission STS-80


-
STS-80 marks
the third flight of the WSF that flew on STS-60 and STS-69 and the
third flight to use the German-built Orbiting and Retrievable Far
and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrograph-Shuttle Pallet Satellite II
(ORFEUS-SPAS II). The ASTRO-SPAS program is a cooperative endeavor
between NASA and the German Space Agency, DARA. Both satellites
will be deployed and retrieved during the mission. STS-80 is the
seventh and last Space Shuttle mission of 1996, the 21st flight
of the orbiter Columbia and the 80th flight overall in NASA's Space
Shuttle program.
-
Other experiments
on STS-80 are the Space Experiment Module (SEM), The National Institutes
of Health NIH-R4 Experiment, a series of bone cell experiments known
as CCM-A (formerly called STL/NIH-C-6), the Biological Research
in Canister (BRIC-09) Experiment, the Commercial MDA ITA Experiment
(CMIX-5), the Visualization in an Experimental Water Capillary pumped
Loop (VIEW-CPL) Experiment
-
ORFEUS-SPAS
II, a free-flying satellite, will be deployed and retrieved using
the Space Shuttle Columbia's Remote Manipulator System (RMS). The
goal of this astrophysics mission is to investigate the rarely explored
far- and extreme-ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum,
and study the very hot and very cold matter in the universe.
-
ORFEUS-SPAS
II will be attempting a large number of observing programs. Among
the many areas in which scientists hope to gain new insights during
this mission are the evolution of stars, the structure of galaxies,
and the nature of the interstellar medium, and others. Many of the
objects they are planning to look at have never before been observed
in the far-ultraviolet.
-
ASTRO-SPAS is
a carrier designed for launch, deployment and retrieval by the Space
Shuttle. Once deployed from the Shuttle's RMS, ASTRO-SPAS will operate
quasi-autonomously for 14 days in the vicinity of the Shuttle. The
carrier's inclination will be 28.4 degrees with an altitude of 218
statute miles. After completion of the free flight phase, the satellite
will be retrieved by the RMS, returned to the Shuttle cargo bay
and returned to Earth.
Dr. Story Musgrave's NASA career spanned the Apollo era to the Space
Shuttle program into initial development of space walk strategies for
the International Space Station. He loves to share his experiences as
an astronaut, marine, surgeon, scientist and literary critic.
Story Musgrave is
one of American Speakers Bureau's favorite professional speakers. Story's
NASA astronaut experience fuels his passion to instill innovation, creativity,
leadership and teamwork skills as a motivational speaker.
