KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Operations and Checkout Building, Rainer Goercke shakes hands with Norman Jatz in front of the Spacelab Module MD001 as they prepare to close it for the last time before shipment to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. Goercke and Jatz have been on the Spacelab program since 1979 and were part of the team that first unloaded the module at KSC. Goercke is the only remaining European representative from the German-based Spacelab contractor, ERNO, and Jatz is a mechanical engineering lead from Boeing. Spacelab was designed by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the Space Shuttle program. It first flew on STS-9 in November 1983 and its final flight was the STS-90 Neurolab mission in April 1998. The sister module will travel home and be placed on display in Europe. The Spacelab concept of modular experiment racks in a pressurized shirt-sleeve environment made it highly user-friendly and accessible. Numerous experiments conceived by hundreds of scientists on the ground were conducted by flight crews in orbit. Spacelab modules served as on-orbit homes for everything from squirrel monkeys to plant seeds. They supported astronomical as well as Earth observations, for servicing the Hubble Space Telescope and for research preparatory to the International Space Station. One of the greatest benefits afforded by the Spacelab missions was the opportunity to fly a mission more than once, with the second or third flight building on the experiences and data gathered from its predecessors KSC-98pc1143
