RELEASE: 98-205
THIRD U.S. SPACE STATION ASSEMBLY CREW NAMED
Astronaut James D. Halsell, Jr. (Lieutenant Col., USAF) will
command the third Space Shuttle mission to carry cargo to space
for the International Space Station in August 1999.
Joining Halsell in the flight deck for mission STS-101 aboard
Atlantis will be Pilot Scott J. Horowitz, Ph.D. (Lieutenant Col.,
USAF). Rounding out the crew are Mission Specialists Mary Ellen
Weber, Ph.D.; Edward Tsang Lu, Ph.D.; and Jeffrey N. Williams
(Lieutenant Col., USA).
As the third International Space Station assembly flight, the
mission will carry internal logistics and resupply cargo for
station operations. The equipment will further the outfitting of
the Russian Service Module.
"STS-101 will bring important components and equipment to the
growing Station assembly," said James D. Wetherbee, Director of
Flight Crew Operations and Deputy Director of NASA's Johnson Space
Center, Houston. "This talented crew brings a great deal of
experience and skill to make this key mission a success."
STS-101 will be Halsell's fifth mission, and his third as
commander. Selected as an astronaut in 1990, he flew as pilot on
STS-65 in 1994 and STS-74 in 1995, and as commander on STS-83 and
STS-94 in 1997. Horowitz served as pilot in his two previous
missions: STS-75 in 1996 and STS-82 in 1997.
Weber, a Mission Specialist onboard Discovery on STS-70, will
be on her second space flight. Lu also will be on his second
space trip; his first was STS-84 which docked to the Mir Space
Station. Mission Specialist Williams will be making his first
space flight.
