Title : The day before launch
Caption :
(02/10/2000) -- The day before launch, KSC videographer Glen Benson captures the setting sun behind Space Shuttle Endeavour on Launch Pad 39A. This is a popular view of the Shuttle. Endeavour waits for mission STS-99, known as the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), which will chart a new course to produce unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth's surface. The result of the SRTM could be close to 1 trillion measurements of the Earth's topography. The mission is expected to last 11days, with Endeavour landing at KSC Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 4:36 p.m. EST. This is the 97th Shuttle flight and 14th for Shuttle Endeavour
