MS Wisoff and Linenger perform Lioh changeout

STS081-E-5007 (12 Jan. 1997) --- Astronauts Peter J. K. (Jeff) Wisoff (left) and Jerry M. Linenger begin early housekeeping by putting in fresh lithium hydroxide canisters beneath the Space Shuttle Atlantis' middeck. Not far away in Atlantis' cargo bay, the two mission specialists and their four crew mates are flying the Spacehab Double Module (DM), replete with supplies for the three-man crew aboard Russia's Mir Space Station with which Atlantis will be docking later in the week. Linenger will trade places with John E. Blaha, marking the second such exchange of American astronaut - cosmonaut guest researcher's aboard Mir. Blaha had replaced Shannon W. Lucid in September of 1996. The scene was recorded with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC) and later downlinked to flight controllers in Houston, Texas.
