Title: STS-57 Pilot Duffy conducts TDS experiment in SPACEHAB-01 aboard OV-105
Description:
STS-57 Pilot Brian J. Duffy, at a SPACEHAB-01 (Commercial Middeck
Augmentation Module (CMAM)) work bench, adjusts wire crimping tool onboard
the Earth-orbiting Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105. Duffy is conducting
a soldering experiment (SE) which is part of the Tools and Diagnostic
Systems (TDS) project. A printed circuit board, positioned in a specially
designed holder and containing 45 connection points, sits on the bench.
TDS' sponsor is the Flight Crew Support Division, Space and Life Sciences
Directorate, JSC. It represents a group of equipment selected from tools
and diagnostic hardware to be supported by the Space Station program. TDS
was designed to demonstrate the maintenance of experiment hardware
on-orbit and to evaluate the adequacy of its design and the crew
interface.
