STS-80 crew members are all smiles as they pose for a photograph at Launch Pad 39B, only a short distance from the Space Shuttle Columbia, which is poised for a Nov. 8 liftoff. From left, are Mission Specialists Story Musgrave and Thomas D. Jones, Commander Kenneth D. Cockrell, Mission Specialist Tamara E. Jernigan and Pilot Kent V. Rominger. The STS-80 mission, the seventh and final Shuttle flight of 1996, will feature two spacewalks and the deployment, operation and retrieval of two scientific satellites, the Orbiting Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer-Shuttle Pallet Satellite-2 (ORFEUS-SPAS-2) and the Wake Shield Facility-3 (WSF-3).
