STS088-332-017 (4-15 Dec. 1998) --- From the left, astronauts Nancy J. Currie, mission specialist; Robert D. Cabana, commander, and Jerry L. Ross, mission specialist, go about various chores designed to put the United States-built Unity Connecting Module (Node 1) in readiness for its impending release in Earth-orbit. Currie talks with ground controllers while Cabana logs a note and Ross checks a supply bag. After devoting the major portion of its mission time to various tasks to ready the Russian-built FGB Module (Zarya) and the docked United States-built node, the six-member crew released the tandem from the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s cargo bay toward mission’s end.
