At SPACEHAB, Cape Canaveral, members of
the STS-107 crew look over elements in the SPACEHAB Double Module as
part of equipment familiarization for their mission. The crew
comprises Commander Rick Husband, Pilot William McCool, Payload
Commander Michael Anderson, Mission Specialists Kalpana Chawla, David
Brown and Laurel Clark, and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon. STS-107 has
two payload elements, the Double Module in its first flight into space
and a Hitchhiker payload. The double module provides greater
experiment capability than on previous flights, resulting for this
mission in a very broad collection of experiments for NASA and
commercial and European customers. The experiments range from material
sciences to life sciences (many rats). The Hitchhiker carrier system
is modular and expandable in accordance with payload requirements,
which allows maximum efficiency in utilizing orbiter resources and
increases the potential for early manifesting on the
Shuttle. Hitchhiker experiments are housed in canisters or attached to
mounting plates. The Hitchhiker canister comes in two varieties--the
Hitchhiker Motorized Door Canister and the Sealed Canisters. STS-107
is scheduled to launch in May 2002
