   At SPACEHAB, in Titusville, Fla., STS-101 Mission Specialists Edward
   Tsang Lu (Ph.D.), at right, talks with workers about the SPACEHAB
   Logistics Double Module at left. The module is part of the payload for
   the mission. Lu and other crew members Commander James Donald Halsell
   Jr., Pilot Scott J. "Doc" Horowitz (Ph.D.), and Mission Specialists
   Mary Ellen Weber (Ph.D), Jeffrey N. Williams, and Boris W. Morukov and
   Yuri Malenchenko , who are with the Russian Space Agency , are taking
   part in a Crew Equipment Interface Test. The primary objective of the
   STS-101 mission is to complete the initial outfitting of the
   International Space Station, making it fully ready for the first
   long-term crew. The seven-member crew will transfer almost two tons of
   equipment and supplies from SPACEHAB. Additionally, they will unpack a
   shipment of supplies delivered earlier by a Russian Progress space tug
   and begin outfitting the newly arrived Zvezda Service Module. Three
   astronauts will perform two space walks to transfer and install parts
   of the Russian Strela cargo boom that are attached to SPACEHAB's
   Integrated Cargo Container, connect utility cables between Zarya and
   Zvezda, and install a magnetometer/pole assembly on the Service
   Module.  Additional activities for the STS-101 astronauts include
   working with the Space Experiment Module (SEM-06) and the Mission to
   America's Remarkable Schools (MARS), two educational
   initiatives. STS-101 is scheduled for launch no earlier than March 16,
   2000.
