S89-E-5101 (24 Jan 1998) --- With checklist in hand on the Space Shuttle Endeavour's middeck, astronaut Michael P. Anderson, mission specialist, begins to help ready the Space Shuttle for its scheduled nine-day mission in Earth-orbit. As was the tradition with Atlantis on previous U.S/Russian joint space dockings, Endeavour carries supplies to be transferred over to the Mir Space Station complex once the two spacecraft dock later. The scene was photographed with an Electronic Still Camera at 5:46:28 GMT, January 24, 1998.
