View of the The Fluids Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus-2 (FGBA-2) payload on the orbiter middeck. FGBA-2 will provide a test bed to determine if carbonated beverages can be produced from separately stored carbon dioxide, water and flavored syrups and determine if the resulting fluids can be made available for consumption without bubble nucleation and resulting foam formation. The Coca-Cola label (and an empty plastic Cola bottle) are visible in front of the rack.
