In the Space Station Processing Facility, a worker is surprised by the camera as she exits the U.S. Lab, Destiny. Inside the lab is the STS-98 crew, which is taking part in Crew Equipment Interface Test activities, becoming familiar with equipment it will be handling during the mission. The crew comprises Commander Ken Cockrell, Pilot Mark Polansky and Mission Specialists Robert Curbeam, Thomas Jones and Marsha Ivins. The mission will be transporting the Lab to the International Space Station with five system racks already installed inside of the module. With delivery of electronics in the lab, electrically powered attitude control for Control Moment Gyroscopes will be activated. The STS-98 launch is scheduled for Jan. 18, 2001
