  Title: STS-47 crewmember handles frog during FEE in Spacelab Japan (SLJ) module
  Description:
  STS-47 crewmember draws sample from an adult female frog using a syringe 
  while conducting the Effects of Weightlessness on the Development of 
  Amphibian Eggs Fertilized in Space (FEE).  The frog is handled in the
  General  Purpose Workstation (GPWS) glove box located in the Spacelab Japan
  (SLJ)  science module aboard the Earth-orbiting Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle
  (OV) 105.  This experiment, developed by NASA Ames Research Center (ARC),
  will  investigate how microgravity affects the fertilization and
  development of  frog eggs.
