A 30 second video clip (77birds.avi)
uplinked to Endeavour via KCA was shot by Paul Maley (DO6) at
JSC using a black and white CCD camera, an image intensifier
and zoom lens on Monday and Tuesday mornings, May 20 and 21.
There are 3 (0-6.5 seconds, 6.5 - 23.5 seconds, 23.5 - end) segments
showing the IAE first moving top right to bottom left (VERY bright).
The second segment shows Spartan followed by the Orbiter moving
from bottom to top of the frame, sometimes in the frame together.
The last segment shows the Orbiter chasing PAM/STU from left
to right, passing several bright stars. PAM/STU is hard to see,
but it's there. Enjoy! |

to closing of the Orbiter Payload Bay Doors.
The Goddard Space Flight Center's Spartan 207/Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE) was successfully deployed on May 20, 1996 with a successful inflation of the IAE.
Spartan 207/IAE was successfully retrieved by the STS-77 crew on the morning of Tuesday May 21, 1996.
