Astronauts Inch Toward Salvage of Long Duration Facility
CAPE CANAVERAL Fla astronauts Dan Brandenstein and Jim Wetherbee aboard Columbia moved to within about 500 miles of the Long Duration Exposure Facility satellite lab. They plan three minor course corrections to align for a Friday grapple with the 30-foot lab, using the 50-foot robot arm to attach a grappling fixture as they fly in formation about 3 feet apart. The craft orbit nearly 200 miles high at speeds around 17 400 mph as the shuttle closes in.
