Overview
STS-86 launched with crew member David Wolf on September 25, 1997. He
replaced Mir astronaut Michael Foale and joined Mir-24 crewmembers Anatoly
Solovyev and Pavel Vinogradov. Wolf had been scheduled to be the final
Mir astronaut, but was tapped to go instead of astronaut Wendy Lawrence,
who was deemed ineligible due to a change in Mir requirements. After the
Progress supply vehicle collision during Mike Foale's residency, it was
determined that all Mir residents must be trained and ready for extravehicular
activities (EVAs), and an EVA suit could not be prepared for Lawrence
in time for launch. Wolf returned to Earth with STS-89, landing on January
31, 1998, after 128 days in space.
