STS-84 Mission Specialists Elena V. Kondakova, at left, and
Jean-Francois Clervoy pose for photos outside the SPACEHAB Double
Module, which will carry more than 6,000 pounds of scientific
experiments and logistics to the Russian Space Station Mir.
Kondakova, a cosmonaut with the Russian Space Agency, has the nickname
of Betty Sue for this mission.  Clervoy, an astronaut with the
European Space Agency, is wearing a name tag with his mission
nickname, Billy Bob.  They are participating in the Crew Equipment
Integration Test (CEIT) at the SPACEHAB Payload Processing Facility in
Cape Canaveral.  STS-84 will be the sixth docking of the Space Shuttle
with Mir.  It also will be the third consecutive crew member exchange
of U.S. astronauts aboard Mir.  STS-84 Mission Specialist C. Michael
Foale will replace astronaut Jerry M. Linenger on Mir.  Linenger has
been on Mir since the STS- 81 mission in January.  Foale is scheduled
to remain on Mir about four months.  STS-84 is targeted for a May 15
liftoff.

are Marc Tuttle, Dan Porter and Mike Vawter. The oxygen generator,
manufactured in Russia by RSC Energia, will be carried aboard the
Space Shuttle Atlantis on Mission STS-84 for the Shuttles scheduled
docking with the Russian Space Station Mir next month. The nearly
300-pound generator will replace one of two Mir units that have been
malfunctioning recently. The generator functions by electrolysis,
which separates water into its oxygen and hydrogen components. The
hydrogen is vented and the oxygen is used for breathing by the Mir
crew. The generator is 4.2 feet in length and 1.4 feet in
diameter. STS-84, which is planned to include a Mir crew exchange of
astronaut C. Michael Foale for Jerry M. Linenger, is targeted for a
May 15 liftoff.

slated to remain on Mir for about four months until he is replaced in
September by STS-86 Mission Specialist Wendy B. Lawrence. During the
five days Atlantis is scheduled to be docked with the Mir, the STS-84
crew and the Mir 23 crew, including two Russian cosmonauts, Commander
Vasily Tsibliev and Flight Engineer Alexander Lazutkin, will
participate in joint experiments. The STS-84 mission also will involve
the transfer of more than 7,300 pounds of water, logistics and science
equipment to and from the Mir. Atlantis is carrying a nearly 300-pound
oxygen generator to replace one of two Mir units which have
experienced malfunctions. The oxygen it generates is used for
breathing by the Mir crew.

was at 9:27:44 EDT on May 24, 1997. The first landing opportunity was
waved off because of low cloud cover. It was the 37th landing at KSC
since the Shuttle program began in 1981, and the eighth consecutive
landing at KSC. STS-84 was the sixth of nine planned dockings of the
Space Shuttle with the Russian Space Station Mir. Atlantis was docked

Specialist Carlos I. Noriega, Commander Charles J. Precourt and
Mission Specialist Jean-Francois Clervoy examine the tires of the
Space Shuttle Atlantis after landing. Atlantis traveled about 3.6
million miles during the nine-day mission, which was the sixth of nine
planned dockings of the Space Shuttle with the Russian Space Station
Mir. The mission also included the exchange of STS-84 Mission
Specialist C. Michael Foale for astronaut and Mir 23 crew member,
Jerry M. Linenger, who spent the last four months on the Russian space
station.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin presents
some gifts to returning astronaut Jerry M. Linenger, who spent the
last four months on the Russian Space Station Mir. Goldin met with
Linenger in the Crew Transport Vehicle shortly after the Space Shuttle
orbiter Atlantis landed on Runway 33 of KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility
at the conclusion of the nine-day STS-84 mission. Goldin gave the
astronaut flowers for Linenger's wife, Kathryn; a stuffed bear for
their 18-month-old son, John; and a rattle for their unborn child who
is due next month. STS-84 was the sixth of nine planned dockings of
the Space Shuttle with the Mir. Mir 23 crew member Linenger was
replaced on the Russian space station by STS-84 Mission Specialist
C. Michael Foale.

Jerry M. Linenger holds a stuffed bear he was given by NASA
Administrator Daniel Goldin at the conclusion of the STS-84 Space
Shuttle mission. STS-84 was the sixth docking of the Shuttle with the
Russian Space Station Mir, where Linenger has lived and worked the
past four months. Goldin presented several gifts to Linenger in the
Crew Transport Vehicle shortly after landing of the Space Shuttle
orbiter Atlantis on KSC's Runway 33.

  Besides the bear for Linenger's 18-month-old son, John, Goldin gave
the astronaut flowers for Linenger's wife, Kathryn; and a rattle for
the Linengers' unborn child who is due next month. Linenger was
replaced on the Russian space station by STS-84 Mission Specialist

  KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - Veteran cosmonaut Valery Ryumin greets
his wife, STS-84 Mission Specialist Elena V. Kondakova, with some
flowers after the Space Shuttle orbiter Atlantis lands on KSC's Runway
33. STS-84 was the sixth docking of the Space Shuttle with the Russian
Space Station Mir. The nine-day STS-84 mission was Kondakova's second
space flight, but her first on the Space Shuttle. She spent 169 days
in space as flight engineer of the 17th main mission on Mir from
October 1994 to March 1995. Her husband is now director of the
Mir-Shuttle program for Russia.

  KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - The orbiter drag chute deploys after
Atlantis touches down on Runway 33 of KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility
at the conclusion of the nine-day STS-84 mission. Main gear touchdown
was at 9:27:44 EDT on May 24, 1997. The first landing opportunity was
waved off because of low cloud cover. It was the 37th landing at KSC
since the Shuttle program began in 1981, and the eighth consecutive
landing at KSC. STS-84 was the sixth of nine planned dockings of the
Space Shuttle with the Russian Space Station Mir. Atlantis was docked
with the Mir for five days. STS-84 Mission Specialist C. Michael Foale
replaced astronaut and Mir 23 crew member Jerry M. Linenger, who has
been on the Russian space station since Jan. 15. Linenger returned to
Earth on Atlantis with the rest of the STS-84 crew, Mission Commander
Charles J. Precourt, Pilot Eileen Marie Collins, and Mission
Specialists Carlos I. Noriega, Edward Tsang Lu, Elena V. Kondakova of
the Russian Space Agency and Jean-Francois Clervoy of the European
Space Agency. Foale is scheduled to remain on the Mir for
approximately four months, until he is replaced by STS-86 crew member
Wendy B. Lawrence in September. Besides the docking and crew exchange,
STS-84 included the transfer of more than 7,300 pounds of water,
logistics and science experiments and hardware to and from the
Mir. Scientific experiments conducted during the STS-84 mission, and
scheduled for Foale's stay on the Mir, are in the fields of advanced
technology, Earth sciences, fundamental biology, human life sciences,
International Space Station risk mitigation, microgravity sciences and
space sciences.
