CONT

... in space, Challenger's crew deployed an eleven-ton school bus-size cylinder that contained 57 experiments contributed by nearly 200 scientists in nine countries. That device, called a long-duration exposure facility, will remain in space until it is hauled in by a shuttle vehicle next February. It will gather data on how such materials as shrimp eggs, tomato seeds and plastics fare in space. It will also take samples of interstellar gas to learn more about the evolution of the universe.
