| Full Description |
The STS-77 crew patch displays the Shuttle Endeavour in the lower left and its reflection within the tripod and concave parabolic mirror of the SPARTAN Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE). The center leg of the tripod also delineates the top of the Spacehab's shape, the rest of which is outlined in gold just inside the red perimeter. The Spacehab was carried in the payload bay and housed the Commercial Float Zone Furnace (CFZF). Also depicted within the confines of the IAE mirror are the mission's rendezvous operations with the Passive Aerodynamically-Stabilized Magnetically-Damped satellite (PAM/STU) appears as a bright six-pointed star-like reflection of the sun on the edge of the mirror with Endeavour in position to track it. The sunlight on the mirror's edge, which also appears as an orbital sunset, is located over Goddard Space Flight Center, the development facility for the SPARTAN/IAE and Technology Experiments Advancing Missions in Space (TEAMS) experiments. The reflection of the Earth is oriented to show the individual countries of the crew as well as the ocean which Captain Cook explored in the original Endeavour. The mission number 77 is featured as twin stylized chevrons and an orbiting satellite as adapted from NASA's logo. The stars at the top are arranged as seen in the northern sky in the vicinity of the constellation Ursa Minor. The field of 11 stars represents both the TEAMS cluster of experiments (the four antennae of GPS Attitude and Navigation Experiment (GANE), the single canister of Liquid Metal Thermal Experiment (LMTE), the three canisters of Vented Tank Resupply Experiment (VTRE), and the three canisters of PAM/STU) and the 11th flight of Endeavour. The constellation at the right shows the fourth flight of Spacehab Experiments. |

The crew assigned to the STS-77 mission included (seated left to right) Curtis L. Brown, pilot, and John H. Casper, commander. Standing, left to right, are mission specialists Daniel W. Bursch, Mario Runco, Marc Garneau (CSA), and Andrew S. W. Thomas. Launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on May 19, 1996 at 6:30:00 am (EDT), the STS-77 mission carried three primary payloads, the SPACEHAB-4 pressurized research module, the Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE) mounted on a Spartan 207 free-flyer, and a suite of four technology demonstration experiments known as Technology Experiments for Advancing Missions in Space (TEAMS). |

Vintage Gamma-Rays
| Title |
Vintage Gamma-Rays |
| Explanation |
Gamma-rays [ http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l2/ history_gamma.html ] are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation [ http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/ emspectrum.html ]. But these high energy photons penetrate and interact in normal materials and cannot be focused by lenses and mirrors like those in optical telescopes. So how do you make an image in gamma-ray light [ http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/how_l1/ gamma_detectors.html ]? One way is to use a patterned mask of material which can cast gamma-ray shadows [ http://home.iae.nl/users/ferdv/shadow.htm ] on a digital detector array. The mask is called a coded aperture [ http://lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/cai/coded.html ] and the resulting shadow patterns can be used to construct a gamma-ray image of the source. For example, consider the picture above [ http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/objects/heapow/archive/ technology/isgri_first_image.html ]. In place of a coded mask [ http://swift.sonoma.edu/instruments/bat.html ], familiar objects were positioned in front of a detector array and illuminated with gamma-rays in a laboratory test. Do you recognize the shadow [ http://www.shadowradio.org/ ] image? (Click on the picture for the focused visible light image.) Destined to fly on the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory [ http://astro.estec.esa.nl/SA-general/Projects/Integral/ integral.html ] (INTEGRAL [ http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/integral/ integralgof.html ]) satellite scheduled for launch in 2002, the detector array will be part of the imaging gamma-ray telescope, IBIS [ http://astro.estec.esa.nl/SA-general/Projects/Integral/ integ_payload_imager.html ]. |

The Shuttle Launches an Inflatable Antenna |
| Explanation |
High above the Earth [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950622.html ] the Space Shuttle Endeavor [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950807.html ] launches a new type of instrument - an inflatable antenna. The officially designated Inflatable Antenna Experiment [ http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/iae/iae_indx.html ] was released Monday, May 20th, as part of a Spartan [ http://sspp.gsfc.nasa.gov/sp207.html ] satellite - which contains many scientific experiments. The antenna is roughly the size of a tennis court and is even visible from Earth [ http://shuttle.nasa.gov/sts-77/orbit/orbiter/sighting/ ]. At the end of the mission, the antenna will be jettisoned while the rest of the Spartan is recovered by the Shuttle. The function of an antenna is to broadcast radio messages, and the large dish at the end helps focus radio waves into a narrow beam which can be detected over long distances. |

The SPACEHAB-4 payload scheduled to fly on Space Shuttle Mission STS-77 is being installed in the payload canister transporter. The pressurized module began preflight processing at the SPACEHAB facility at Port Canaveral, then was transferred here to the Space Station Processing Facility at KSC for installation in the transporter. Two other payloads flying on STS-77, the Technology Experiments Advancing Missions in Space (TEAMS) and Spartan 207/ Inflatable Antenna Experiment (Spartan 207/IAE) also will be installed in the transporter before it heads for Launch Pad 39B, there the three payloads will be installed in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The fourth Shuttle flight of 1996 currently is slated for liftoff on May 16. |

STS-77 Launch (front view fisheye closeup) |
| Description |
A flawless countdown culminates with an on-time liftoff as the Space Shuttle Endeavour lights up the morning sky. Endeavour was launched on Mission STS-77 from Pad 39B at 6:30:00 a.m. EDT, May 19. The fourth Shuttle mission of 1996 is devoted to the continuing effort to help open the commercial space frontier. Heading up the six-member crew is Commander John H. Casper. Curtis L. Brown Jr. is the pilot and there are four mission specialists on board: Daniel W. Bursch, Mario Runco Jr., Andrew S. W. Thomas and Marc Garneau, who represents the Canadian Space Agency. During the approximately 10-day mission, the astronauts will perform a variety of payload activities, including microgravity research aboard the SPACEHAB-4 module, deployment and retrieval of the Spartan 207 carrying the Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE) and deployment and rendezvous with the Passive Aerodynamically-Stabilized Magnetically-Damped Satellite (PAMS). |

Managed by Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Spartan is designed to provide short-duration, free-flight opportunities for a variety of scientific studies. The Spartan configuration on this flight is unique in that the IAE is part of an additional separate unit which is ejected once the experiment is completed. The IAE experiment will lay the groundwork for future technology development in inflatable space structures, which will be launched and then inflated like a balloon on-orbit. GMT: 08:12:50. |
