Title
STS-57 Launch
Full Description
The first flight of the commercially developed SPACEHAB laboratory module begins
with the flawless liftoff of the Space Shuttle Endeavour from Launch Pad 39B at
9:07:22 a.m. EDT, June 21, 1993. Also planned for the eight-day flight of
Mission STS-57 is the retrieval of the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA).
Onboard for the fourth flight of Endeavour are a crew of six: Mission Commander
Ronald J. Grabe; Pilot Brian Duffy; Payload Commander G. David Low; and Mission
Specialists Nancy Jane Sherlock, Peter J.K. "Jeff" Wisoff, and Janice E. Voss.
The first launch attempt on June 20 was scrubbed due to unacceptable weather
conditions both at KSC and the overseas contingency landing sites.
