The crew also activated one group of the payload bay Getaway Special experiments.

Once it was berthed, the crews activated it and opened the hatch for ingress.

Aborting the takeoff, the crew tried to control the "fishtailing" and activate the drag chute.

Even though the temperature was freezing and it was snowing, the crew did not activate the engine anti-ice system.

However the Trigati's crew decided that death was the only honorable course open to them, and activated a self-destruct device.

If it is determined that the cause is hopeless, the crew can activate the ship's self-destruct mechanism and abandon ship.

The crew also activated the Soyuz systems and removed the docking clamps.

Apparently, if the crew had not activated the self-destruct program, the ship would have crashed into Moscow.

After raising out the arm-boom assembly, the crew activated the camera and laser sensor package on the boom to first scan the starboard wing.

Once in orbit the crew opened the payload bay doors, activated the radiators and deployed the K band antenna.
