 TEXAS STS-78 ONBOARD VIEW --- Astronaut Richard M.
 Linnehan prepares to draw blood from astronaut

 ultimately joined three other NASA astronauts and
 two international payload specialists for almost
 17-days of research in the Life and Microgravity

 fecal and urine samples of each crew member, are
 used to measure calcium loss and to determine how
