About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Seen here in a closeup is a GetAway Special (GAS) known as SEM, part of the payload on mission STS-101, in the payload bay on Space Shuttle Atlantis prior to door closure. The SEM program is student-developed, focusing on the science of zero-gravity and microgravity. Selected student experiments on this sixth venture are testing the effects of space on Idaho tubers, seeds, paint, yeast, film, liquids, electronics and magnetic chips.
