STS-59 Crew

On Endeavour's middeck, the three STS-59 red shift crew members begin to organize what was believed to be among the longest mail messages to that point in Shuttle history. Astronaut Sidney M. Gutierrez, mission commander, is in the right foreground. Also seen are astronauts Linda M. Godwin, payload commander, and Kevin P. Chilton, pilot. Though early Shuttle flights could brag of longer teleprinted messages, this Thermal Imaging Printing System's (TIPS) message from the ground competes with those of recent Shuttle flights.
