In the Operations and Checkout Building, members of the STS-67 flight
crew have gathered for a meal prior to suiting up and departing for
the launch pad. The crew will split into two teams during their
upcoming spaceflight for around-the-clock operations with the primary
payload, the Astro-2 observatory, and some of them are having dinner
while others are having breakfast, depending on their shift. From
left are: Payload Specialist Ronald A. Parise; Mission Specialist John
M. Grunsfeld; Pilot William G. Gregory; Mission Commander Stephen
S. Oswald; Payload Commander Tamara E. Jernigan; Payload Specialist
Samuel T. Durrance; and Mission Specialist Wendy B. Lawrence.
Awaiting the crew at Launch Pad 39A is the Space Shuttle Endeavour,
scheduled for liftoff during a launch window opening at 1:37 a.m. EST,
March 2.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour embarks on NASA's longest Shuttle flight
to date, carrying a complement of unique telescopes that will give
astronomers a view of the universe impossible to obtain from the
ground. Endeavour's liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 1:38:13
a.m. EST, March 2. Mission STS-67 is commanded by Stephen S. Oswald;
William G. Gregory is the pilot; Tamara E. Jernigan is payload
commander; Wendy B. Lawrence is a mission specialist and flight
engineer; John M. Grunsfeld also is a mission specialist; and Samuel
T. Durrance and Ronald A. Parise are the payload
specialists. Endeavour's mission is scheduled to last 15 days, 13
hours, allowing the crew to conduct around-the-clock observations with
the Astro-2 observatory, a trio of telescopes designed to study the
universe of ultraviolet astronomy. Because of Earth's protective ozone
layer, ultraviolet light from celestial objects does not reach
ground-based telescopes, and such studies can only be conducted from
space. The 68th flight of the Space Shuttle program -- the eighth for
Endeavour -- is scheduled to conclude with a landing at the Kennedy
Space Center.
