KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Orbiter Processing Facility, STS-111 Mission Specialist Philippe Perrin, with the French Space Agency, looks over the payload installed in Endeavour's payload bay. The crew is at KSC for Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities, which include payload familiarization and a simulated launch countdown. The crew also comprises Commander Kenneth Cockrell, Pilot Paul Lockhart and Mission Specialist Franklin Chang-Diaz. The payload on mission STS-111 to the International Space Station includes the Mobile Base System, an Orbital Replacement Unit and Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo. Traveling on Endeavour is also the Expedition 5 crew - Commander Valeri Korzun, Peggy Whitson and Sergei Treschev -- who will replace the Expedition 4 crew on the Station. Korzun and Treschev are with the Russian Space Agency. Launch of Endeavour is scheduled for May 30, 2002 KSC-02pd0706

Summary
LDEF (Postflight), AO038 : Interstellar Gas Experiment, Tray E12 The postflight photograph was taken in the KSC SAEF II facility prior to removing experiments from the LDEF. The brown stains are still very prominent but seem to be less vivid than in the flight photograph. This may be due to the different lighting intensity and direction. The openings in the base plate for the grid voltage cable connectors show clearly and are thought to be the source of the brown stains around the connector. The beryllium copper collector foils are clearly visible in this photograph as are the baffles near the top of the canister housing. However, the fine wire mesh grid cannot be seen. Due to an experiment system malfunction, the canister collector foils that are visible were exposed for the total mission.
