KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The second International Microgravity Laboratory-2 (IML-2) is off to an ontime start as the Space Shuttle Columbia lifts off from Launch Pad 39A at 12:43:00 p.m. EDT.  On board are a crew of seven and more than 80 investigations developed by more than 200 scientists from 13 countries.  The IML-2 complement includes materials science, bioprocessing, space and radiation biology, and human physiology experiments that will be carried out over the course of the 14-day flight.  The commander of Space Shuttle Mission STS-65 is Robert D. Cabana.  James D. Halsell Jr. is the pilot; the payload commander is Richard J. Hieb; the three mission specialists are Carl E. Walz, Leroy Chiao and Donald A. Thomas.  Dr. Chiaki Mukai, representing NASDA, the National Space Development Agency of Japan, is the payload specialist.

Glenn Jr., senator from Ohio, and Chiaki Mukai, with the National Space Development Agency of Japan, talk with Kiki Chaput, trainer, United Space Alliance-Houston, during the Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT) for their mission. The CEIT gives astronauts an opportunity for a hands-on look at the payloads on whcih they will be working on orbit. The launch of the STS-95 mission, aboard Space Shuttle Discovery, is scheduled for Oct. 29, 1998. The mission includes research payloads such as the Spartan solar-observing deployable spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope Orbital Systems Test Platform, the International Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker, as well as the SPACEHAB single module with experiments on space flight and the aging process KSC-98pc1008
