Title: STS-47 crewmember handles frog during FEE in Spacelab Japan (SLJ) module

Description:

STS-47 crewmember draws sample from an adult female frog using a syringe 
while conducting the Effects of Weightlessness on the Development of 
Amphibian Eggs Fertilized in Space (FEE).  The frog is handled in the
General  Purpose Workstation (GPWS) glove box located in the Spacelab Japan
(SLJ)  science module aboard the Earth-orbiting Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle
(OV) 105.  This experiment, developed by NASA Ames Research Center (ARC),
will  investigate how microgravity affects the fertilization and
development of  frog eggs.
