In the Multi-Payload Processing
Facility, an overhead crane lowers a GetAway Special canister (GAS
can) onto the Hitchhiker Bridge. The bridge is a carrier for the Fast
Reaction Experiments Enabling Science, Technology, Applications and
Research (FREESTAR) that incorporates eight high priority secondary
attached shuttle experiments on mission STS-107. A research mission,
the primary payload is the first flight of the SHI Research Double
Module (SHI/RDM), also known as SPACEHAB. The experiments range from
material sciences to life sciences (many rats). STS-107 is scheduled
to launch July 11, 2002
