KSC-96EC-0429 - STS-76 Mission Specialist Linda Godwin suits up 


STS-76 Mission Specialist Linda M. Godwin is donning her launch/entry
suit in the Operations and Checkout Building with assistance from a
suit technician. Godwin has flown in space twice before, on STS-37 and
STS-59, to which fellow STS-76 crewmates Kevin Chilton and Michael
"Rich" Clifford also were assigned.  Once suitup activities are
completed the six-member STS-76 flight crew will depart for Launch Pad
39B, where the Space Shuttle Atlantis is undergoing final preparations
for liftoff during an approximately seven-minute launch window opening
around 3:13 a.m. EST, March 22.
