STS57KIT is the Press Kit for the Space Shuttle Mission STS-57 (dated
June 1993). Endeavor and her six-person crew will run experiments
designed by students, operate a payload which may improve crystal growth
techniques and demonstrate possible on-orbit refueling techniques. It
will also rendezvous with and retrieve the European Space Agency's
European Carrier (EURECA) satellite is scheduled to take place on the
fourth day of the mission. NASA is also leasing space to a
privately-developed mid-deck augmentation module known as SPACEHAB. The
primary objective is to support the agency's commercial development of
space program by providing additional access to crew-tended, mid-deck
locker or experiment rack space. This access is necessary to test,
demonstrate or evaluate techniques or processes in microgravity. Lots
of other interesting material as well.
