KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- STS-95 Payload Specialist John H. Glenn Jr., who also is a senator from Ohio, works with the Biological Research in Canisters (BRIC) experiment which will be flown on the mission. Glenn and other STS-95 crew members were at KSC and the adjacent SPACEHAB Payload Processing Facility in Cape Canaveral to familiarize themselves with the payloads which will fly on the mission. STS-95 will feature a variety of research payloads, including the Spartan solar-observing deployable spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope Orbital Systems Platform, the International Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker, and experiments on space flight and the aging process.
