  Title: STS-47 MS/PLC Lee and Pilot Brown repair valve under SLJ Rack 10 subfloor
  Description:
  STS-47 Mission Specialist (MS) and Payload Commander (PLC) Mark C. Lee 
  (right) and Pilot Curtis L. Brown, Jr, wearing goggles and face masks, 
  perform inflight maintenance (IFM) procedures on a bypass valve under the 
  Spacelab Japan (SLJ) NASDA Material Sciences Rack 10 subfloor.  A lighting 
  fixture mounted on a camera bracket is positioned between the two 
  crewmembers. A number of materials processing experiments are located in
  this  SLJ area. Soon after entering SLJ science module, located in the
  payload bay  (PLB) of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, Lee reported to
  ground  controllers that he spotted a small amount of water in the area. 
  The crew  later downlinked camcorder video in order that ground controllers
  in both  Texas and Alabama could work out troubleshooting procedures. 
  Eventually, Lee  was able to remove insulation from around the plumbing
  that provides cooling  fluid to the Continuous Heating Furnace (CHF), the
  Gradient Heating Furnace  (GHF), the Large Isothermal Furnace, and the
  Acoustic Levitation Furnace,  allowing him to tighten a packing nut.
