KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Payload Changeout Room at Launch Pad 39A, technicians read a manual on the Payload Ground-Handling Mechanism hook instrumentation unit. The PGHM will be used in moving the U.S. Lab Destiny out of the payload canister and into the PCR. Destiny will then be transferred to the payload bay of Atlantis for mission STS-98. A key element in the construction of the International Space Station, Destiny is designed for space science experiments. STS-98 is the seventh construction flight to the ISS. Launch of STS-98 is scheduled for Jan. 19 at 2:11 a.m. EST
