  STS078-396-015 JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON,
 TEXAS STS-78 ONBOARD VIEW --- Payload specialist
 Jean-Jacques Favier, representing the French
 Space Agency (CNES), prepares a sample for the
 Advanced Gradient Heating Facility (AGHF) while
 wearing instruments that measure upper body
 movement.  The Torso Rotation Experiment (TRE)
 complements other vestibular studies that measure
 differences in the way human beings react
 physically to their surroundings in
 microgravity.  This is a typical Life and
 Microgravity Spacelab (LMS-1) mission scene, with
 several experiments being performed.  Astronaut
 Susan J. Helms, payload commander, assists Favier
 in the AGHF preparations.  Astronaut Richard M.
 Linnehan (bottom right), mission specialist,
 tests his muscle response with the Handgrip
 Dynamometer.  Astronaut Thomas T. (Tom) Henricks
 (far background), mission commander, offers
 assistance.
