(07/06/2000) --- Workers in the Orbiter Processing Facility check the placement of cables on the Pressurized Mating Adapter -3 (PMA-3) for its transfer to the orbiter Discovery. A component of the International Space Station, the 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)
