Title : Workers in the Space Station Processing Facility gather around the Pressurized

Caption :

(07/06/2000) --- Workers in the Space Station Processing Facility gather around the Pressurized Mating Adapter –3 (PMA-3) as an overhead crane is set to lift and move it. The PMA-3, a component of the International Space Station, is being transported to the Orbiter Processing Facility. PMA-3 is part of the payload on Space Shuttle mission STS-92, scheduled to launch Oct. 5. The mission will be the fifth flight to the Space Station, and the 100th Shuttle flight overall. PMA-3 provides shuttle docking port for solar array installation on flight 4A (mission STS-97 scheduled for Nov. 30), and Lab installation on flight 5A (mission STS-98, scheduled for Jan. 18, 2001)
