About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- The day before the expected launch of STS-99, Mission Specialist Mamoru Mohri (right) enjoys a reunion with his wife, Akiko, near Launch Pad 39A. STS-99, known as the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), is scheduled to lift off 12:47 p.m. EST from Launch Pad 39A. The SRTM will chart a new course to produce unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth's surface, using two antennae and a 200-foot-long section of space station-derived mast protruding from the payload bay.
