On this tenth day of the STS-81 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. Michael A. Baker, Pilot Brent W. Jett, Mission Specialists, John M. Grunsfeld, Marsha S. Ivins, Peter J.K. Wisoff, and John Blaha, prepare for the return back to earth. The shuttle's key flight control systems are checked for entry and landing phase of the mission. Commander Mike Baker and Pilot Brent Jett activate one of Atlantis' three hydraulic power units to test the shuttle's aerosurfaces. Baker and Jett fire Atlantis' steering jets in a routine prelanding checkout. The astronauts also test a medical restraint system in the Spacehab module, placing two crewmembers in the device. Crewmembers then begin to stow items away in the crew cabin, initiate the scheduled deactivation of Spacehab systems and associated hardware. Released Jan. 1997.
