STS-86 Mission Specialist David A. Wolf arrives in a T-38 jet at KSC’s Shuttle Landing Facility for the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT), a dress rehearsal for launch. STS-86 will be the seventh docking of the Space Shuttle with the Russian Space Station Mir. During the mission, Wolf will transfer to the Mir 24 crew, replacing astronaut C. Michael Foale, who will return to Earth with the rest of the STS-86 crew. Wolf is scheduled to remain on the Mir until his replacement arrives on the STS-89 mission in January. STS-86 is targeted for a Sept. 25 launch aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis
