activities. From left are Mission Specialist Laurel Blair Salton

Double Module in its first research flight into space and a broad
collection of experiments ranging from material science to life
science. The CEIT activities enable the crew to perform certain flight
operations, operate experiments in a flight-like environment, evaluate
stowage locations and obtain additional exposure to specific
experiment operations. Other STS-107 crew members are Pilot William
C. McCool and Mission Specialists Kalpana Chawla and David
M. Brown. STS-107 is scheduled for launch May 23, 2002
