MISSION CONTROL CENTER
STS-67 Status Report #11

Tuesday, March 7, 1995; 4 p.m. CST

The Space Shuttle Endeavour continues to sail smoothly around the
Earth every 91 minutes, giving astrophysicists every opportunity to
study stars, galaxies and the interstellar medium with a trio of
ultraviolet telescopes.

The Red Team -- Commander Steve Oswald, Pilot Bill Gregory, Mission
Specialist John Grunsfeld and Payload Specialist Ron Parise -- is
about halfway through its duty shift and has reported no orbiter
problems.

Oswald transferred data from the ground to the orbiting Middeck Active
Control Experiment via a high-speed air-to-ground link as Gregory took
care of orienting the shuttle for its Astro-2 observations and
performed housekeeping duties.Grunsfeld and Parise each were scheduled
for some off-duty time.

The Blue Team -- Payload Commander Tammy Jernigan, Mission Specialist
Wendy Lawrence and Payload Specialist Sam Durrance -- went to sleep at
about 2 p.m. CST and will be awakened about midnight.

Endeavour remains in orbit at an altitude of approximately 190
nautical miles.
