OBS

After the Shuttle leaves the Space Station, the crew will continue installing the Human Research Facility connecting umbilicals and other equipment to link it to systems in the Destiny laboratory. This floor-to-ceiling rack is about the size of a large phone booth and supports a variety of experiments dedicated to studying how space flight affects human physiology. ... This rack houses a computer workstation and a portable laptop computer for crew members to command and test equipment, collect and store experiment data, and send data to and from scientists on Earth. The crew will use this rack to store and send data from the suite of radiation monitors that will be characterizing the radiation environment onboard the Space Station ...

The Gas Analyzer System for Metabolic Analysis Physiology(GASMAP) device is used to monitor and analyze inhaled and exhaled breath streams to determine their gas concentrations. The primary gases of interest are nitrogen(N²), oxygen(O²), carbon dioxide(CO²), argon(Ar), acetylene(C²H²), sulfur hexafluoride(SF6), helium(He), and carbon monoxide(C18 O). The GASMAP flight hardware consists of two components : an analyzer module and a calibration module, both of which are housed in drawers inside Spacelab. The analyzer module contains all the sensor and electronic hardware of the GASMAP.
