1999-030A
STS-96 carried LP (Launch Package) 2A-1. consisting of the Spacehab Logistics Double Module, the Integrated Cargo Carrier, and associated equipment.
Launch mass was 118857 kg; landing mass planned was 100234 kg.
Like STS-88, approach on +R-bar, then fly around and above to do final approach on -R-bar, since without the SM the FGB antennas must be nadir pointing to allow commanding from ground stations.
With Tammy Jernigan on the RMS and Dan Barry floating, Julie Payette as IV and Ellen Ochoa as RMS operator, one EVA was planned.
Install foot stanchion on RMS, Jernigan on RMS. The US and Strela cranes would be installed, then foot restraints which work for both US and Russian EVA boots were added added to PMA-1 and Unity. Barry adds a mask to the docking target. Next, the SHOSS bags were transferred. A final task was to add a thermal cover to the Unity trunnion pin.
The astronauts transferred 311 kg of water and 1307 kg of cargo to ISS. 89 kg of ISS equipment was returned to Discovery,and 300 kg of equipment was installed during the EVA.
