Caption :

(09/23/1998) --- Jim Dumoulin, NASA Payload Electrical Systems engineer, crawls out of the Spacelab module for the last time after stowing some equipment for its final trip to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. He has worked on the Spacelab program since its first launch on STS-9 in November 1983 as part of the NASA Civil Service Level IV experiment integration team. Spacelab was designed by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the Space Shuttle program. Its final flight was the STS-90 Neurolab mission in April 1998. The Spacelab concept of modular experiment racks in a pressurized shirt-sleeve environment made it highly user-friendly and accessible. Numerous experiments conceived by hundreds of scientists on the ground were conducted by flight crews in orbit. Spacelab modules served as on-orbit homes for everything from squirrel monkeys to plant seeds. They supported astronomical as well as Earth observations, for servicing the Hubble Space Telescope and for research preparatory to the International Space Station. One of the greatest benefits afforded by the Spacelab missions was the opportunity to fly a mission more than once, with the second or third flight building on the experiences and data gathered from its predecessors
