On this twelfth day of the STS-80 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Kenneth D. Cockrell, Pilot Kent V. Rominger, Mission Specialists, Tamara E. Jernigan, Thomas D. Jones, and F. Story Musgrave, spend the day discussing the failed hatch with ground controllers. The failure of the hatch to properly open causes the cancellation of the second planned spacewalk by Jernigan and Jones. NASA engineers and managers continue to collect and analyze data on what may be causing the failure. The leading candidate is a misalignment of the hatch against the airlock seal. Released Dec. 1996.
