In the Operations and Checkout Building, STS-77 Pilot Curtis L. Brown Jr. is completing the task of putting on his launch/entry suit with assistance from a suit technician. STS-77 will mark the third trip into space for Brown, who was selected to join the astronaut program in June 1987. He and five fellow crew members will depart shortly for Launch Pad 39B, where the Space Shuttle Endeavour is undergoing final preparations for liftoff during a two-and-a-half hour launch window opening at 6:30 a.m. EDT, May 19.
