MISSION CONTROL CENTER
STS-67 Status Report #13

Wednesday, March 8, 1995; 4 p.m. CST

Mission Specialist Wendy Lawrence beamed down a video postcard,
narrating a tour of the Space Shuttle Endeavour and showing what life
aboard is like. The tour included views of the aft flight deck, where
astronomical observations are being conducted; the forward flight
deck, where shuttle maneuvers are orchestrated; and the middeck, where
experiments are studying biotechnology and flexible space structures
and the day-to-day activities such as food preparation and personal
hygiene are taken care of.

Lawrence is a member of the Blue Team, which is now in its sleep
shift. She and Payload Commander Tammy Jernigan and Payload Specialist
Sam Durrance will awaken about 10 p.m. CST.

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 worked again with the Middeck Active Control Experiment as
Gregory took care of orienting the shuttle for its Astro-2
observations and performed housekeeping duties.  Grunsfeld and Parise
directed the trio of Astro-2 telescopes toward its targets.

Gregory and Grunsfeld also conducted an interview with KFWB Radio in
Los Angeles.

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