Pawelczyk<\/a>, Payload Specialist<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Launch Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch was postponed on April 16 for 24 hours due to difficulty with one of Columbia’s two network signal processors, which format data and voice communications between the ground and the space shuttle. The network signal processor 2 was replaced, and liftoff on April 17 occurred on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mission Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neurolab’s 26 experiments targeted one of the most complex and least understood parts of the human body — the nervous system. The primary goals were to conduct basic research in neurosciences and expand understanding of how the nervous system develops and functions in space. Test subjects were crew members and rats, mice, crickets, snails and two kinds of fish. This was a cooperative effort of NASA, several domestic partners and the space agencies of Canada (CSA), France (CNES) and Germany (DARA), as well as the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). Most experiments were conducted in the pressurized Spacelab long module located in Columbia’s payload bay. This was the 16th and last scheduled flight of the ESA-developed Spacelab module although the Spacelab pallets will continue to be used on the International Space Station. Research was conducted as planned, with the exception of the Mammalian Development Team, which had to reprioritize science activities because of the unexpected high mortality rate of neonatal rats on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other payloads included the Shuttle Vibration Forces experiment, the Bioreactor Demonstration System-04, and three Get-Away Special (GAS) canister investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with engineers on the ground a week into the flight, the on-orbit crew used aluminum tape to bypass a suspect valve in the Regenerative Carbon Dioxide Removal System that had threatened to cut short the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mission Management Team considered, but decided against, extending the mission one day because the science community indicated an extended flight was not necessary and weather conditions were expected to deteriorate after planned landing on Sunday, May 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STS-90 Mission Specialist Kay Hire was Kennedy Space Center’s first employee to be chosen as an astronaut candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-gallery-preview padding-y-5 desktop:padding-y-7 padding-x-3 bg-spacesuit-white width-full maxw-full

Earth is revealed through a neuron-shaped window, which symbolizes new perspectives in the understanding of nervous system development, structure and function, both here on Earth and in the microgravity environment of space. The Space Shuttle Columbia is depicted with its open payload bay doors revealing the Spacelab within. An integral component of the mission, the laboratory\/science module provided by the European Space Agency (ESA), signifies the strong international involvement in the mission. The seven crew members and two alternate payload specialists, Chiaki Naito-Mukai and Alexander W. Dunlap, are represented by the nine major stars of the constellation Cetus (the whale) in recognition of the International Year of the Ocean. The distant stars illustrate the far reaching implications of the mission science to the many sponsoring agencies, helping prepare for long-duration space flight aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The moon and Mars are depicted to reflect the crew's recognition that those two celestial bodies will be the next great challenges in human exploration of space and represent the key role that life science research will play in supporting such missions.","credits":"","alt":""},"nasa_hds_core_meta_mission_facebook_url":"","nasa_hds_core_meta_mission_twitter_url":"","nasa_hds_core_meta_mission_instagram_url":"","nasa_hds_core_meta_mission_linkedin_url":""},"categories":[2725,3048],"mission-status":[10842],"mission-type":[10917,10879],"mission-target":[],"mission-programs":[10869],"internal-terms":[12368],"coauthors":[8355],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"WebPage","headline":"STS-90","url":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/sts-90\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/sts-90\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/0500975\/0500975~large.jpg?w=1920&h=1521&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/0500975\/0500975~large.jpg?w=1920&h=1521&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint"},"articleSection":"Missions","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Heather Deiss"}],"creator":["Heather Deiss"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NASA","logo":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/themes\/nasa\/assets\/images\/nasa-logo.svg"},"keywords":["Missions","Space Shuttle","STS-90"],"dateCreated":"2023-04-04T16:42:29Z","datePublished":"2023-04-04T16:42:29Z","dateModified":"2023-07-20T21:07:19Z"},"rendered":"<meta name=\"parsely-title\" content=\"STS-90\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-link\" content=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/sts-90\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-type\" content=\"index\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-image-url\" content=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/0500975\/0500975~large.jpg?w=1920&h=1521&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-pub-date\" content=\"2023-04-04T16:42:29Z\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-section\" content=\"Missions\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-tags\" content=\"Missions,Space Shuttle,STS-90\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-author\" content=\"Heather Deiss\" \/>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/nasa.gov\/p.js"},"read_time":3,"featured_image":{"id":277912,"file":"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/0500975\/0500975~large.jpg","title":"Space Shuttle Projects","alt":"","caption":"Five astronauts and two payload specialists take a break in training for the Neurolab mission to pause for a crew portrait.
