STS-48 Mission Specialist (MS) Mark N. Brown (left) and MS James F. Buchli construct Middeck Zero ("0") Gravity Dynamics Experiment 01 (MODE-01) structural test article (STA) on the middeck of the Earth-orbiting Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103. STA will investigate the nonlinear dynamics of truss structures. Behind the astronaut team are the starboard wall-mounted sleep restraints. The airlock hatch appears at the right.
