KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The U.S. Lab Destiny dominates the center of the Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF), which is filled with other hardware and equipment for the International Space Station. Elsewhere in the SSPF are also the Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules Raffaello and Leonardo and the Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 (PMA-3). The PMA-3 is the first element scheduled to be launched to the Space Station, on STS-92. Next is Destiny, on STS-98, followed by the MPLMs on STS-102 and STS-100. No dates have been determined yet for these missions KSC-00pp0301

Workers in the Space Shuttle Processing Facility (SSPF) move a high-gain antenna for installation onto the Integrated Truss Structure (ITS) Z1, already in the SSPF. The Z1 is an early exterior framework for the International Space Station that will allow the first U.S. solar arrays, on mission STS-97, flight 4A, to be temporarily installed on Unity for early power. The Z1 is a payload scheduled on mission STS-92, the fifth flight to the Space Station, in the fall KSC-00pp0766

In the Space Station Processing Facility, an overhead crane is attached to the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello in order to move the MPLM to the payload canister.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, STS-122 crew members inspect the Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure - Non-Deployable (MPESS-ND), part of the payload on their mission. In the foreground are Mission Specialists Rex Walheim (left) and Stan Love. The crew is participating in a crew equipment interface test that provides opportunities for hands-on experience with payloads and equipment. The other crew members are Commander Steve Frick, Pilot Alan Poindexter and Mission Specialists Leland Melvin and Hans Schlegel, who represents the European Space Agency. The 24th mission to the International Space Station, STS-122 will also include the Columbus European Laboratory. Launch of STS-122 on Space Shuttle Discovery is scheduled no earlier than October.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- On the floor of the Space Station Processing Facility, astronauts Dan Tani (left) and Peggy Whitson practice working with a cover, something they may handle during an upcoming shuttle flight. With construction of the Space Station the primary focus of future shuttle missions, astronaut crews will be working with one or more of the elements and hardware already being processed in the SSPF.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, members of space shuttle Discovery's STS-131 crew participate in training activities during the Crew Equipment Interface Test, or CEIT, for their mission. Here, Mission Specialist Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger has the opportunity to become familiar with the interior of the multi-purpose logistics module Leonardo. The CEIT provides the crew with hands-on training and observation of shuttle and flight hardware. The seven-member crew will deliver Leonardo, filled with resupply stowage platforms and racks to be transferred to locations around the International Space Station. Three spacewalks will include work to attach a spare ammonia tank assembly to the station's exterior and return a European experiment from outside the station's Columbus module. Discovery's launch is targeted for March 18. For information on the STS-131 mission and crew, visit http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts131/index.html.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - During training at KSC, STS-114 Mission Specialist Stephen Robinson and Commander Eileen Collins (both unmasked) look at equipment that will be part of their mission. STS-114 is a utilization and logistics flight that will carry Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello and the External Stowage Platform (ESP-2), plus the Expedition 7 crew to the International Space Station. Launch of STS-114 is currently scheduled for January 2003 KSC01pd1879

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo has the attention of workers and some of the STS-102 crew. The MPLM, part of the payload on the STS-102 mission, is the first of three pressurized modules that will serve as the International Space Station’s “moving vans,” carrying laboratory racks filled with equipment, experiments and supplies to and from the Space Station aboard the Space Shuttle. Leonardo is scheduled to be launched in early March. On that flight, Leonardo will be filled with equipment and supplies to outfit the U.S. laboratory module Destiny. The mission will also be carrying the Expedition Two crew to the Space Station, replacing the Expedition One crew who will return on Shuttle Discovery KSC01pp0117

Dressed in protective clothing, STS-100 Mission Specialist Chris Hadfield looks at equipment in the payload bay of orbiter Endeavour during a Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT). Other crew members at KSC for the CEIT are Commander Kent V. Rominger, Pilot Jeffrey S. Ashby and Mission Specialists Scott Parazynski, John L. Phillips, Umberto Guidoni, who is with the European Space Agency, and Yuri Lonchakov, who is with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency. Hadfield is with the Canadian Space Agency. Endeavour is also carrying the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello to the International Space Station. Raffaello carries six system racks and two storage racks for the U.S. Lab. Launch of mission STS-100 is scheduled for April 19 at 2:41 p.m. EDT from Launch Pad 39A KSC01pp0545
