This Spacelab Mission Development test simulated a 7-day Space Shuttle life science mission. It evaluated operational concepts for space life science payloads using a crew of three and a detailed mockup.

Area of Science:

  • Space science
  • Life sciences
  • Human spaceflight

Background:

  • Development of Life Sciences experiments for the Space Shuttle era.
  • Third in a series of Spacelab Mission Development tests.
  • Joint effort between Ames Research and Johnson Space Centers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate operational concepts for the Space Shuttle life science payloads program.
  • Assess crew performance and system functionality during a simulated mission.

Main Methods:

  • 7-day mission simulation with a three-man crew (Mission Specialist and two Payload Specialists).
  • Conducted 26 experiments and 12 operational tests.
  • Utilized a simulated Orbiter/Spacelab mockup with realistic crew quarters and Spacelab design.
