Description:
STS-78 ONBOARD VIEW --- Astronaut Richard M. Linnehan prepares to draw blood from astronaut Charles J. Brady. The two mission specialists ultimately joined three other NASA astronauts and two international payload specialists for almost 17-days of research in the Life and Microgravity Spacelab (LMS-1) Science Module in the Space Shuttle Columbias cargo bay. Part of a battery of metabolic studies, blood draws, along with fecal and urine samples of each crew member, are used to measure calcium loss and to determine how and where this loss occurs during spaceflight.
