STS-76 Mission Specialist Linda M. Godwin is donning her launch/entry suit in the Operations and Checkout Building with assistance from a suit technician. Godwin has flown in space twice before, on STS-37 and STS-59, to which fellow STS-76 crewmates Kevin Chilton and Michael "Rich" Clifford also were assigned. Once suitup activities are completed the six-member STS-76 flight crew will depart for Launch Pad 39B, where the Space Shuttle Atlantis is undergoing final preparations for liftoff during an approximately seven-minute launch window opening around 3:13 a.m. EST, March 22.
