STS-32 Commander Brandenstein dons LES equipment in KSC LC Pad 39A white room

STS032-S-062 (9 Jan 1990) --- Inside the White Room at Launch Pad 39A, a suit technician helps astronaut Daniel C. Brandenstein, mission commander, suit up for the launch of the orbiter Columbia on Shuttle Mission STS-32. Dubious weather at the return-to-launch site (RTLS) caused postponement of yesterday's planned launch. During the ten day mission, the five member crew is scheduled to deploy the SYNCOM IV-5 military communications satellite and retrieve the Long Duration Exposure Facility.
