STS-54 (Endeavour)

 1993-003A


The third mission of OV-105 included a satellite deployment and a spacewalk. On Jan 17, Harbaugh and Runco suited up and entered the payload bay for the first of a series of spacewalks designed purely for training purposes. The experiment would compare exercises carried out in the Huntsville water tank with the same activities on orbit, so that mission planners would have a better idea of how much to trust the ground simulations. The astronauts emerged at 1050 and entered the lock at 1509, closing the hatch at 1511. Repressurization began at 1518 after 4h 27m 50s.
