                his launch/entry suit by a suit technician in the Operations and
                Checkout (O&C) Building. He first flew in this capacity on STS-
                69. He has been a professional deep sea diver and engineer and
                holds a doctorate in bioengineering. Gernhardt will be in charge
                of the Blue shift and as flight engineer will operate and
                maintain the orbiter while Halsell and Still are asleep as
                members of the Red shift. He will also back them up on the flight
                deck during the ascent and re-entry phases of the mission.
                Gernhardt and six fellow crew members will shortly depart the O&C
                and head for Launch Pad 39A, where the Space Shuttle Columbia
                will lift off during a launch window that opens at 1:50 a.m. EDT,
