Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Space Shuttle Atlantis blazes through the night sky to begin the STS-86 mission, slated to be the seventh of nine planned dockings of the Space Shuttle with the Russian Space Station Mir. Liftoff on Sept. 25 from Launch Pad 39A was at 10:34:19 p.m. EDT, within seconds of the preferred time, during a six-minute, 45-second launch window. The 10-day flight will include the transfer of the sixth U.S. astronaut to live and work aboard the Mir. After the docking, STS-86 Mission Specialist David A. Wolf will become a member of the Mir 24 crew, replacing astronaut C. Michael Foale, who will return to Earth aboard Atlantis with the remainder of the STS-86 crew. Foale has been on the Russian Space Station since mid-May. Wolf is scheduled to remain there about four months. Besides Wolf (embarking to Mir) and Foale (returning), the STS-86 crew includes Commander James D. Wetherbee, Pilot Michael J. Bloomfield, and Mission Specialists Wendy B. Lawrence, Scott E. Parazynski, Vladimir Georgievich Titov of the Russian Space Agency, and Jean-Loup J.M. Chretien of the French Space Agency, CNES. Other primary objectives of the mission are a spacewalk by Parazynski and Titov, and the exchange of about three-and-a-half tons of science/logistical equipment and supplies between Atlantis and the Mir
Français : La navette spatiale Atlantis parcourt le ciel nocturne pour commencer la mission STS-86, qui devrait être la septième des neuf amarrages prévus de la navette spatiale avec la station spatiale russe Mir. Le décollage le 25 septembre du Launch Pad 39A a eu lieu à 22h34:19 HAE, quelques secondes après l'heure de lancement souhaitée, pendant une fenêtre de lancement de six minutes et 45 secondes. Le vol de 10 jours inclura le transfert du sixième astronaute américain pour vivre et travailler à bord du Mir. Après l'amarrage, le spécialiste de la mission STS-86, David A. Wolf, deviendra membre de l'équipage du Mir 24, en remplacement de l'astronaute C. Michael Foale, qui retournera sur Terre à bord d'Atlantis avec le reste de l'équipage du STS-86. Foale est sur la Station spatiale russe depuis la mi-mai. Wolf devrait y rester environ quatre mois. Outre Wolf (embarquement à Mir) et Foale (retour), l'équipage du STS-86 comprend le commandant James D. Wetherbee, le pilote Michael J. Bloomfield et les spécialistes de la mission Wendy B. Lawrence, Scott E. Parazynski, Vladimir Georgievich Titov de l'Agence spatiale russe et Jean-Loup J.M. Chretien de l'Agence spatiale française, CNES. Les autres objectifs principaux de la mission sont une sortie spatiale de Parazynski et Titov, et l'échange d'environ trois tonnes et demi de matériel et de fournitures scientifiques et logistiques entre Atlantis et le Mir |
