https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/watch/29544812-bad0-483c-b619-5291613a2c49 On this ninth day of the STS-77 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. John H. Casper, Pilot Curtis L. Brown, Jr., and Mission Specialists Andrew S.W. Thomas, Ph.D., Daniel W. Bursch, Mario Runco, Jr., and Marc Garneau, Ph.D., make the third rendezvous with the small aerodynamically stabilized satellite. Commander John Casper and Pilot Curt Brown guided Endeavour to just under 2,000 feet from the cylindrically shaped Passive Aerodynamically Stabilized Magnetically Damped Satellite Satellite Test Unit (PMS-STU). It was deployed from a small canister in Endeavour's payload bay earlier in the mission in an unstable, slightly tumbling attitude to observe how or whether it could stabilize itself without using satellite lifetime-limiting propellants. Casper was scheduled to take time out during the final phase of the rendezvous to talk to fellow astronaut Shannon Lucid and her two cosmonaut crewmates aboard the Russian Space Station Mir. Various views of the Earth can be seen.
