STS-106 Mission Commander Terrence W. Wilcutt (inside orbiter) checks out the windows in Space Shuttle orbiter Atlantis in Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3. He and the other crew members – Pilot Scott D. Altman and Mission Specialists Edward T. Lu, Daniel C. Burbank, Yuri I. Malenchenko, Boris V. Morukov and Richard A. Mastracchio – are taking part in Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT) activities. Malenchenko and Morukov represent the Russian Aviation and Space Agency. On the 11-day mission, the seven-member crew will perform support tasks on orbit, transfer supplies and prepare the living quarters in the newly arrived Zvezda Service Module for the first long-duration crew, dubbed "Expedition One," which is due to arrive at the Station in late fall. STS-106 is scheduled to launch Sept. 8, 2000, at 8:31 a.m. EDT from Launch Pad 39B.
