KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - STS-116 Mission Specialist Christer Fugelsang, who is with the European Space Agency, listens to instructions in the SPACEHAB module. He and other crew members are taking part in equipment familiarization at SPACEHAB. The objective of their mission to the International Space Station is to deliver and attach the third port truss segment, the P5 Truss, deactivate and retract P6 Truss Channel 4B (port-side) solar array, reconfigure station power from 2A and 4A solar arrays, deliver the Expedition 8 crew to the Station and return the Expedition 7 crew to Earth. The mission is currently targeted for launch in July 2003..
Astronaut Ronald M. Sega, payload commander, works in the glovebox facility in the Spacehab laboratory aboard the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Atlantis. The Spacehab facility was one f the busier research areas on Atlantis during the STS-76 mission.

The Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia STS-107 mission, launched January 16, 2003, is strictly a multidiscipline microgravity and Earth science research mission involving 80-plus International experiments tp be performed during 16-days, many of which will be managed by the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The majority of the research will be conducted in the Shuttle's middeck, the area directly under the cockpit, and in the new SPACEHAB Research Double Module. This is the first flight for that module, which doubles the volume available for experiments and significantly increases the amount and complexity of research from the last dedicated Shuttle science mission, STS-95, flown in 1998 with a single SPACEHAB module. The pressurized module is carried in Columbia's payload bay and is accessible to the crew via a turnel from the Shuttle's middeck. This onboard photo shows the SPACEHAB Research Double Module in Columbia's payload bay, back dropped by the shuttle vertical stabilizer, the blackness of space, and a thin slice of Earth's horizon. The first shuttle mission in 2003, the STS-107 mission marks the 113th flight overall in NASA's Space Shuttle program, and the 28th flight of the Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia.

This ESC view was taken at 01:29:11 GMT, on January 30, 1998.
STS076-345-019 (22 - 31 March 1996) --- Onboard the Spacehab Module in the cargo bay of the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Atlantis, astronaut Richard A. Searfoss fetches a battery which is to be transferred to Russia's Mir Space Station. The pilot and his crew mates docked with Mir on March 23, 1996, and remained linked until March 28, 1996. At right is a stowed gyrodyne, which earlier had been replaced on Mir with a new one brought up from the ground by the STS-76 crew.

STS081-E-05514 (16 Jan. 1997) --- The transfer of equipment and supplies continues aboard the Spacehab Double Module (DM) aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Here, left to right, astronauts Peter J. K. Wisoff and Michael A. Baker along with newly initiated "cosmonaut" Jerry M. Linenger, Mir-22 cosmonaut guest researcher, load and move supplies. The photograph was recorded with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC) and later was downlinked to flight controllers in Houston, Texas.
STS095-E-5107 (2 Nov. 1998) --- Astronaut Steven W. Lindsey, STS-95 pilot, sets up a camera for an experiment in the Spacehab facility aboard Discovery during Flight Day 4 activity. The photo was taken with an electronic still camera (ESC) at 05:10:25 GMT, Nov. 2.
STS106-301-019 (8-20 September 2000) ---Astronaut Richard A. Mastracchio, STS-106 mission specialist, participates in the moving of supplies from the SPACEHAB Logistics Double Module on the Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station (ISS).

Titov, mission specialist, handles vials of samples for the Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus (CGBA) experiment in SpaceHab 3 Module onboard the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Discovery. Titov joined five NASA astronauts for eight days of research in Earth-orbit.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Astrotech payload processing facility at Port Canaveral in Florida, STS-132 Mission Specialist Garrett Reisman compares the actual Mini-Research Module to a picture of the module during the crew equipment interface test, or CEIT. CEIT provides the crew with hands-on training and observation of shuttle and flight hardware. The six-member crew of space shuttle Atlantis' STS-132 mission will deliver an Integrated Cargo Carrier and a Russian-built Mini-Research Module to the International Space Station. The second in a series of new pressurized components for Russia, the module will be permanently attached to the bottom port of the Zarya module and also will carry U.S. pressurized cargo. STS-132 is the 34th mission to the station and the 132nd space shuttle mission in the program. Launch is targeted for May 14.
