Two GetAway Special canisters (GAS can) are installed in Discovery’s payload bay for mission STS-102. The smaller one, left, is filled with student experiments from schools in St. Louis (hosted by Washington University at St. Louis). The larger, at right, is an experiment on Shuttle vibration force. STS-102 is the 8th construction flight to the International Space Station and will carry the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo. STS-102 is scheduled for launch March 1, 2001. On that flight, Leonardo will be filled with equipment and supplies to outfit the U.S. laboratory module Destiny. The mission will also be carrying the Expedition Two crew to the Space Station, replacing the Expedition One crew who will return on Shuttle Discovery
