The Orbiter middeck provides crew accommodations and contains three avionics equipment bays. Modular stowage lockers are used to store the flight crew's personal gear, mission-required equipment, and experiments. There are 42 identical lockers, which are 11 X 18 X 21 inches. An experiment is either designed to fit inside a locker or replace one or more lockers. Individual microgravity science experiments are flown on a space-available basis in the Orbiter middeck. Few support services are available and, in general, mission parameters are not established by experiments in the middeck. 2, record 1, English, - orbiter%20middeck
