Description
The August 1992 flight of the first SPACEHAB module aboard the Space Shuttle initiates a new era of opportunity for commercial experimentation in a pressurized, crew-tended, microgravity environment. The SPACEHAB module's flexible design allows tailoring of each mission's payload complement to maximize the number of experiments flown within the 3000 pound total payload capacity. Up to 71 lockers, or 51 lockers and 2 racks may be integrated in the module. Two crewmen can perform tasks simultaneously; and a full service Command and Data Management System and Environmental Control System are available to support experiments. In addition to the physical accommodations, a broad spectrum of technical support services are available to provide a "user friendly" integration process. Spacehab is here to provide your space in Space.
