STS085-339-006 (7 - 19 August 1997) --- Astronaut Kent V. Rominger, pilot, checks on the Solid Surface Combustion Experiment (SSCE) on the mid-deck of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The experiment, which occupies the space of four lockers, consists of a Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) fuel sample internally mounted in the center of a pressurized chamber. Two windows orthogonal to each other in the chamber wall allow viewing by a 16mm camera of the side edge and top of the PMMA sample.
