KSC-97PC1510
Still celebrating his recent homecoming and reunion with his family, astronaut C. Michael Foale picks up his 3-year-son Ian, while his 5-year-old daughter, Jenna, stands by at the Skid Strip on Cape Canaveral Air Station. They are scheduled to depart shortly for the astronauts’ home base at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Foale spent approximately four-and-a-half months on the Russian Space Station Mir. He returned to Earth on Oct. 6 aboard the Space Shuttle orbiter Atlantis at the conclusion of the STS-86 mission. STS-86 was the seventh docking of the Space Shuttle with the Mir. Foale was replaced on the Mir by STS-86 Mission Specialist David A. Wolf
