  Description:
  STS-47 Mission Specialist (MS) N. Jan Davis, wearing gloves, conducts 
  experiment M13, Fabrication of Si-As-Te:Ni Ternary Amorphous Semiconductor
  in  Microgravity, using the continuous heating furnace (CHF) located in the 
  Spacelab Japan (SLJ) module on Rack 8 - NASDA Material Sciences. CHF
  provided  temperatures up to 1,300 degrees Celsius and rapid cooling to two
  sets of  samples concurrently.  This was one of the many experiments
  designed and  monitored by Japan's National Space Development Agency
  (NASDA).
