Discovery will carry a SPACEHAB module to orbit. Inside
SPACEHAB, almost 30 experiments ranging from materials science,
to plant growth and developing new techniques for delivering
vital anti-tumor medications, will be conducted by the crew.
Sponsored by NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, the European Space
Agency and the Japanese Space Agency NASDA, these studies take
the best advantage of the unique environment of space to conduct
these diverse studies. about these experiments: space science
