STS-88 crew members and Boeing Manufacturing Engineer Harry Feinberg enjoy a moment inside Node 1 of the International Space Station (ISS) during the mission's Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT) in KSC's Space Station Processing Facility. Discussing the mission are, from left to right, Feinberg, Commander Bob Cabana, Mission Specialist Nancy Currie, and Pilot Rick Sturckow. The CEIT gives astronauts an opportunity to get a hands-on look at the payloads with which they will be working on-orbit. STS-88, the first ISS assembly flight, is targeted for launch in July 1998 aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour.
