STS-78 crew members are at KSC for the Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT) with the Life and Microgravity Sciences-1 (LMS) Spacelab module in the Operations and Checkout Building. From left are Payload Specialist Jean-Jacques Favier; Mission Specialists Charles Brady and Richard Linnehan; Payload Commander Susan Helms; Pilot Kevin Kregel; Payloads Specialist Robert Thirsk; and Mission Commander Tom Henricks. The CEIT is a standard preflight opportunity that allows the crew to become familiar with the equipment they will be handling on-orbit. The LMS, scheduled for flight on Shuttle Mission STS-78 this summer, will feature a complement of multi-national life and materials science experiments.
