The Research Animal Holding Facility(RAHF) is a general use, contained animal habitat within the STS [Shuttle Transport System] Spacelab capable of holding up to 24 adult rats(350 gm) in pairs or four adult squirrel monkeys(1 kg) within separate cages. The monkey and rat versions of the RAHF differ only in the design of the cage module to accommodate different animal sizes; otherwise all subsystems are identical. 2, record 1, English, - research%20animal%20holding%20facility

Une autre nouveauté de la mission est la présence à bord d'animaux vivants [...] à titre expérimental. L'objectif est d'évaluer la «ménagerie spatiale» mise au point par le Centre de recherches Ames de la NASA, une structure qui permet de garder diverses espèces d'animaux en cage dans de bonnes conditions de confort, de nutrition et de propreté et qui est en même temps dotée des installations d'essais indispensables. 1, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9nagerie%20spatiale
