STS-69 flight day 8 highlights
Abstract
The astronauts, Cmdr. Dave Walker, Pilot Ken Cockrell, and Mission Specialists Jim Voss, Jim Newman, and Mike Gernhardt were awakened by the theme song of the television cartoon show 'Underdog' on this eighth day of the STS-69 mission. The retrieval of the Wake Shield Facility (WSF) occurred without any major problems. The WSF was unable to grow all seven layers of films before its retrieval. Only four were grown due to thermal problems.
