STS-29 crewmembers participate in preflight press conference

S89-25327 (11 Jan 1989) --- Two crewmembers for NASA's STS-29 mission ponder a question from a news reporter during a press conference concerning their scheduled mid-March flight. James P. Bagian, at left, begins to answer the query, as James F. Buchli listens. Out of the frame are other members of the crew--Astronauts Michael L. Coats, mission commander; and John E. Blaha and Robert C. Springer. The five will deploy a tracking and data relay satellite from Discovery's cargo bay as well as perform other important chores on their scheduled five-day flight.
