MISSION CONTROL CENTER
STS-67 Status Report #12

Wednesday, March 8, 1995; 8 a.m. CST

Flight controllers had a quiet overnight shift as all systems aboard
the Space Shuttle Endeavour continue to support the Astro-2
observations, including ultraviolet views of spiral galaxies, the
interstellar medium and a very luminous and hot Wolf Rayet star.

A successful alignment of the inertial measurement units was performed
earlier this morning.  Excess water will be dumped through the flash
evaporator system today.  All consumables are at the appropriate
levels at this time in the record-setting mission.

The Blue Team -- Payload Commander Tammy Jernigan, Mission Specialist
Wendy Lawrence and Payload Specialist Sam Durrance -- will begin its
pre-sleep activities about 12:30 p.m. CST.  Pre-sleep activities
include eating and winding down from a busy day of Astro-2
observations.

The Red Team -- Commander Steve Oswald, Pilot Bill Gregory, Mission
Specialist John Grunsfeld and Payload Specialist Ron Parise -- will
awaken shortly after 10 a.m. CST today.

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