Summary
The original finding aid described this as:
Description: Views of the Cosmic Radiation Effects and Activation Monitor (CREAM) experiment and the companion Shuttle Activation Monitor (SAM) experiment equipment (including the Particle Anti-coincidence Mantle (PAM)) set up on the middeck of Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, during the STS-44 mission. The CREAM experiment collects data on cosmic ray energy loss spectra, neuron fluxes and inducted radiogravity. SAM measures gamma ray data within the orbiter as a function of time and location. Data will be collected from identical locations for both investigations in an attempt to correlate data between the two.

STS-44
Space Shuttle Atlantis was a space shuttle that was operated by NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program. It was the fourth operational shuttle built, and the last one to be built before the program was retired in 2011. Atlantis was named after the first research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and it made its first flight in October 1985. Over the course of its career, Atlantis completed 33 missions and spent a total of 307 days in space. Its last mission was STS-135, which was the final mission of the Space Shuttle program. Atlantis is now on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Space Shuttle Atlantis (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-104) was one of the four first operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA, the space agency of the United States. (The other two are Discovery and Endeavour.) Atlantis was the fourth operational shuttle built. Atlantis is named after a two-masted sailing ship that operated from 1930 to 1966 for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Atlantis performed well in 25 years of service, flying 33 missions.
