After leaving the Crew Transport Vehicle, members of the mission STS-95 crew (foreground) take a close look at the orbiter Discovery on Nov. 8, 1998, that carried them for nine days and 3.6 million miles. From left, they are Mission Specialist Stephen K. Robinson; Payload Specialist John H. Glenn Jr., a senator from Ohio; Pilot Steven W. Lindsey; and Mission Commander Curtis L. Brown Jr. The STS-95 crew completed a successful mission, landing at the Shuttle Landing Facility at 12:04 p.m. EST, after 9 days in space, traveling 3.6 million miles. The mission included research payloads such as the Spartan solar-observing deployable spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope Orbital Systems Test Platform, the International Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker, as well as the SPACEHAB single module with experiments on space flight and the aging process.
