Space Shuttle Endeavour launched as mission
STS-88 to rendezvous with the International
Space Station on December 4, 1998, from Cape
Kennedy. I took the video from the "friends
and family" viewing area on the Banana River
3.5 miles east of the launch pad with my Sony
TRV-7 digital video camera. This video lasts
4 minutes, and covers T-60 seconds through
T+3 minutes.

ABSTRACT
Astronaut and physicist Dr. Jim Newman will
talk about his experiences of working in
space. NASA's space program has come a long
way. From astronauts strapped in their seats
monitoring flight data in a guided capsule,
to crews performing complex tasks in the
hostile and non-intuitive environment
encountered during space missions. Hazards
abound and handicaps are encountered in even
the simplest manipulations. Jim Newman has
logged in space the equivalent of 35
roundtrips to the Moon and with 43 hours of
EVA he has worked in space the equivalent of
17 Apollo 11 missions. Most notably Dr.
Newman performed two Hubble space telescope
walks replacing; an old solar array, the
reaction the wheel assembly, the Faint Object
Camera, a new power control unit and also
installed a cooler to reactivate an old
infrared camera. Join us to hear about the
factors, designs, experiences and vision
which makes this kind of a work place
possible and how it may relate to the future
human exploration and settlement of Mars.
Speaker: Jim Newman
Dr. Newman flew as a mission specialist on
STS-51 (1993), STS-69 (1995), STS-88 (1998)
and STS-109 (2002). A veteran of four space
flights, Dr. Newman has logged over 43 days
in space, including six spacewalks totaling
43 hours and 13 minutes.
STS-51 Discovery, (September 12-22, 1993) was
launched from and returned to make the first
night landing at Kennedy Space Center,
Florida. During the ten-day flight, the crew
of five deployed the Advanced Communications
Technology Satellite (ACTS) and the Orbiting
and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet
Spectrometer on the Shuttle Pallet Satellite
(ORFEUS/SPAS). Newman was responsible for the
operation of the SPAS, was the backup
operator for the RMS, and on flight day five
conducted a seven-hour, five-minute spacewalk
with Carl Walz. The extravehicular activity
(EVA) tested tools and techniques for use on
future missions. In addition to working with
numerous secondary payloads and medical test
objectives, the crew successfully tested a
Global Positioning System ( GPS) receiver to
determine real-time Shuttle positions and
velocities and completed a test routing
Orbiter data to on-board laptop computers.
STS-51 made 158 orbits of the Earth,
traveling 4.1 million miles in 236 hours and
11 minutes.
STS -69 Endeavour (September 7-18, 1995), was
an eleven-day mission during which the crew
successfully deployed and retrieved a SPARTAN
satellite and the Wake Shield Facility (WSF).
Also on board was the International Extreme
Ultraviolet Hitchhiker payload, numerous
secondary payloads, and medical experiments.
Newman was responsible for the crews science
involvement with the WSF and was also the
primary RMS operator on the flight,
performing the WSF and EVA RMS operations. He
also operated the on-orbit tests of the
Ku-band Communications Adaptor, the Relative
GPS experiment, and the RMS Manipulator
Positioning Display. The mission was
accomplished in 171 Earth orbits, traveling
4.5 million miles in 260 hours, 29 minutes.
STS -88 Endeavour (December 4-15, 1998), was
the first International Space Station
assembly mission. During the twelve-day
mission the Unity module was mated with Zarya
module. Newman performed three spacewalks
with Jerry Ross, totaling 21 hours, 22
minutes. The primary objective of the
spacewalks was to connect external power and
data umbilicals between Zarya and Unity.
Other objectives include setting up the Early
Communication antennas, deploying antennas on
Zarya that had failed to deploy as expected,
installing a sunshade to protect an external
computer, installing translation aids, and
attaching tools/hardware for use in future
EVAs. The crew also performed IMAX Cargo Bay
Camera (ICBC) operations, and deployed two
satellites, Mighty Sat 1, sponsored by the
Air Force, and SAC-A, from Argentina. The
mission was accomplished in 185 orbits of the
Earth, traveling 4.6 million miles in 283
hours and 18 minutes.
STS-109 Columbia (March 1-12, 2002). STS-109
was the fourth Hubble Space Telescope (HST)
servicing mission and the 108th flight of the
Space Shuttle. The crew of STS-109 su...
