{description}   Members of the STS-88 crew examine the Node 1 of the Internation
                Space Station in the high bay of the Space Station Processing
                Facility. The module is the first element of the International
                Space Station to be manufactured in the United States and the
                first scheduled to be launched on the Space Shuttle. The Node 1
                is currently scheduled to lift off aboard the Space Shuttle
                Endeavour in July 1998, along with Pressurized Mating Adapters
                (PMAs) 1 and 2. The 18-foot-in-diameter, 22-foot-long aluminum
                module was manufactured by the Boeing Co. at Marshall Space
                Flight Center. Once in space, the Node 1 will function as a
                connecting passageway to the living and working areas of the
                International Space Station. The six hatches on the Node 1 will
                serve as docking ports to the U.S. laboratory module, U.S.
                habitation module, an airlock and other space station elements.
