Investigations during the Neurolab mission will focus on the effects of microgravity on the nervous system. Buckey and six fellow crew members will shortly enter the orbiter at KSC's Launch Pad 39B, where the Space Shuttle Columbia will lift off during a launch window that opens at 2:19 p.m. EDT, April 17
