https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/watch/39eecee3-4928-478d-955f-3a2de1fc1470 On this fourth day of the STS-80 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Kenneth D. Cockrell, Pilot Kent V. Rominger, Mission Specialists, Tamara E. Jernigan, Thomas D. Jones, and F. Story Musgrave, busily begin final preparations for the release of Wake Shield. Jones powers up the shuttle's Canadian-built robot arm and grapples the satellite, while Jernigan powers up the Orbiter Space Vision System, which will be used to track precisely the Wake Shield's location. Cockrell places Columbia in a gravity gradient attitude to minimize disturbances during the release. Jones uses the robot arm to hold Wake Shield in position for a two-and-a-half hour cleansing by atomic oxygen molecules before moving the arm to the deploy position. Released Nov. 1996.
