In addition to the work that is going on with the Advanced Automated Directional Sillitification Furnace, which is part of the USMP, as mentioned, the USMP payload. There is also several other experiments out on the payload bay associated with the Tethered Satellite Project, this view from camera associated with one of those experiments called top, which is the Tether Optical Phenomenics Spirminal Lowlight Camera used when the orbiter is on the dark side of the Earth, sending back a data phenomena around the orbiter measuring all types of activities using the lowlight level camera associated with that payload, the instruments was designed to measure electromagnetic interaction around the orbiter's surfaces while it was designed to be used during the Tethered Satellite operations. It also can gather the same types of data, even in the absence of the satellite to gather that kind of data around the orbiter's equipment in the payload bay around the orbiter's surfaces. As mentioned, Columbia is tracking just to the south to the north east of New Zealand tracking across the Pacific Ocean on the latter stages of the 106th orbit of the mission. Again, all going very smoothly aboard Columbia, the astronauts are now split into virtually two shifts rather than three, and that will remain that case for the rest of Columbia's 14-day missions scheduled to end on March 7th with a landing back at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At six days, 14 hours, 50 minutes into the flight of Columbia on STS-75, this is Mission Control Houston. At the heart-filling, I don't have any filter right now. I was just looking at the image, so you want me to put the filter in. And Columbia Huntsville, you can put in the filter for the checklist November 2, Papa Golf.
