JSC2000-02933 (5 April 2000) --- Astronauts Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt (left), mission commander, and Scott D. Altman, pilot, await ingress of a crew training mockup to begin an emergency egress training session at the Johnson Space Center (JSC). The two will join three other NASA astronauts and two cosmonauts representing the Russian Aviation and Space Agency for a late summer visit to the International Space Station (ISS).

STS089-364-019 (22-31 Jan. 1998) --- Astronaut Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt, STS-89 mission commander, adjusts a camcorder onboard the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Endeavour. The Primary Life Support System (PLSS) for an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) is stored nearby. Though no extravehicular activity (EVA) was planned for the nine-day mission, the EMU spacesuit was carried onboard in the event a contingency EVA was required. Photo credit: NASA

S89-E-5166 (24 Jan 1998) --- This Electronic Still Camera (ESC) image shows the black space forming the backdrop for this view of Russia's Mir Space Station, inside 500 feet and closing. Astronaut Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt was at the controls of the Space Shuttle Endeavour during this event -- the eighth of nine planned Shuttle/Mir link-ups. The markings in the frame are those of the Crew Optical Alignment System (COAS). The ESC image was exposed at 19:48:14 GMT, January 24, 1998.

JSC2000-02567 (21 March 2000) --- Astronaut Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt, STS-106 mission commander, empties water from his newly-deployed life raft during a simulation of an emergency bailout exercise. The water survival training routinely takes place in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) near the Johnson Space Center (JSC).

STS089-714-066 (22-31 Jan. 1998) --- A series of 70mm still shots was recorded of Russia's Mir Space Station from the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Endeavour following undocking of the two spacecraft. A large blanket of white clouds cover thousands of square miles in this oblique panorama. Onboard the Mir at this point were cosmonaut Anatoly Y. Solovyev, commander; Pavel V. Vinogradov, flight engineer; and Andrew S. W. Thomas, cosmonaut guest researcher. Onboard Endeavour were Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt, commander; Joe F. Edwards Jr., pilot; Bonnie J. Dunbar, payload commander; mission specialists David A. Wolf (former cosmonaut guest researcher), Michael P. Anderson, James F. Reilly, and Salizhan S. Sharipov representing Russian Space Agency (RSA). Photo credit: NASA

STS089-714-072 (22-31 Jan. 1998) --- A series of 70mm still shots was recorded of Russia's Mir Space Station from the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Endeavour following undocking of the two spacecraft. Onboard the Mir at this point were cosmonaut Anatoly Y. Solovyev, commander; Pavel V. Vinogradov, flight engineer; and Andrew S. W. Thomas, cosmonaut guest researcher. Onboard Endeavour were Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt, commander; Joe F. Edwards Jr., pilot; Bonnie J. Dunbar, payload commander; mission specialists David A. Wolf (former cosmonaut guest researcher), Michael P. Anderson, James F. Reilly, and Salizhan S. Sharipov, representing Russian Space Agency (RSA). Photo credit: NASA

S89-E-5171 (24 Jan 1998) --- Just seconds after hatch opening, the Space Shuttle Endeavour and Russian Mir Space Station commanders are reunited. At left is cosmonaut Anatoliy Y. Solovyev. Astronaut Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt's (right) crew includes astronaut Andrew S.W. Thomas who will remain aboard Mir for several months' research as the final U.S. astronaut cosmonaut guest researcher to do so, as the United States and Russia prepare for the onset of the era of International Space Station (ISS). Solovyev was a member of the STS-71 crew which marked the first of the nine planned NASA-Mir link-ups. The photograph was taken with a 35mm Electronic Still Camera (ESC) at 22:35:59 GMT, January 24, 1998.

STS089-716-019 (22-31 Jan. 1998) --- A series of 70mm still shots was recorded of Russia's Mir Space Station from the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Endeavour following undocking of the two spacecraft. Among the medium close-ups of Mir, this survey view was provided during a "fly-around" by Endeavour. Onboard the Mir at this point were cosmonaut Anatoly Y. Solovyev, commander; Pavel V. Vinogradov, flight engineer; and Andrew S. W. Thomas, cosmonaut guest researcher. Onboard Endeavour were Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt, commander; Joe F. Edwards Jr., pilot; Bonnie J. Dunbar, payload commander; mission specialists David A. Wolf (former cosmonaut guest researcher), Michael P. Anderson, James F. Reilly, and Salizhan S. Sharipov representing Russian Space Agency (RSA). Photo credit: NASA

STS079-S-097 (16-26 Sept. 1996) --- Left to right, Terrence W. (Terry) Wilcutt, pilot; Shannon W. Lucid, mission specialist; and William F. Readdy, mission commander, are pictured on the space shuttle Atlantis' aft flight deck during undocking operations with Russia's Mir Space Station. Mir had served as both work and home for Lucid for over six months before greeting her American colleagues upon docking of Mir and Atlantis last week. Following her lengthy stay aboard Mir and several days on Atlantis, Lucid went on to spend 188 consecutive days in space before returning to Earth with the STS-79 crew. During the STS-79 mission, the crew used an IMAX camera to document activities aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the various Mir modules. A hand-held version of the 65mm camera system accompanied the STS-79 crew into space in Atlantis' crew cabin. NASA has flown IMAX camera systems on many Shuttle missions, including a special cargo bay camera's coverage of other recent Shuttle-Mir rendezvous and/or docking missions.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- STS-89 crew members participate with trainers in the Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT) at the SPACEHAB Payload Processing Facility at Port Canaveral in preparation for the mission, slated to be the first Shuttle launch of 1998. The CEIT gives astronauts an opportunity to get a hands-on look at the payloads with which they will be working on-orbit. From left to right are Mission Specialists Michael Anderson and Bonnie Dunbar, Ph.D.; Commander Terry Wilcutt; Boeing SPACEHAB Operations Engineer Jim Behling; Boeing SPACEHAB Crew Trainer Laura Keiser; an unidentified staff member (with mustache); Mission Specialist Salizhan Sharipov of the Russian Space Agency; and Pilot Joe Edwards. STS-89 will be the eighth of nine scheduled Mir dockings and will include a double module of SPACEHAB, used mainly as a large pressurized cargo container for science, logistical equipment and supplies to be exchanged between the orbiter Endeavour and the Russian Space Station Mir. The nineday flight of STS-89 also is scheduled to include the transfer of the seventh American to live and work aboard the Russian orbiting outpost. Liftoff of Endeavour and its sevenmember crew is targeted for Jan. 15, 1998, at 1:03 a.m. EST from Launch Pad 39A
