KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, future crew members on the International Space Station are looking at an experiment rack to go in the Experiment Logistics Module Pressurized Section (ELM-PS) of the Japanese Experiment Module, or JEM. Seen here is Garrett E. Reisman, who will fly on the mission as a mission specialist/Expedition 16 flight engineer. The ELM-PS is one of six modules that compose the JEM. The various components of JEM will be assembled in space over the course of three space shuttle missions. STS-123 is the first of those missions and will carry the ELM-PS aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, targeted for launch in 2008. Reisman will fly to the space station on STS-123.
