STS-80 Mission Specialist Tamara E. Jernigan has finished donning her launch/entry suit in the Operations and Checkout Building and signals that she's ready to fly. The veteran of three previous Shuttle flights will participate in two space walks on STS-80 to continue testing tools and techniques for International Space Station construction. She and four crew members will shortly depart the O&C and head for Launch Pad 39B, where the Space Shuttle Columbia awaits liftoff during a two-and-a-half hour window opening at 2:53 p.m. EST, Nov. 19.
