Members of the STS-97 crew look into Endeavour’s payload bay at some of the equipment that will be carried on the mission. At far left are (left to right) Commander Brent Jett and Mission Specialist Joseph Tanner, with a technician. At center are Mission Specialists Marc Garneau and Carlos Noriega, plus Pilot Michael Bloomfield. The equipment visible at right are the orbiter docking system (ODS) (center) and Canadian robotic arm (left and below the ODS). The arm will be used during spacewalks on the mission to install solar arrays. Each more than 100 feet long, the arrays will capture energy from the sun and convert it to power for the Station. STS-97 is scheduled to launch Nov. 30 at about 10:06 p.m. EST
