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.
