Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)

(03/10/1998) --- Node 1, the first U.S. element for the International Space Station, and attached Pressurized Mating Adapter-1 (PMA-1) continue with prelaunch preparation activities at KSC's Space Station Processing Facility. Node 1 is a connecting passageway to the living and working areas of the space station. The node and PMA-1 are seen here being moved into the Shuttle payload transportation canister, where the doors will be closed for a two-week leak check. The node and PMA were moved to the canister from the element rotation stand, or test stand, where they underwent an interim weight and center of gravity determination. The final determination is planned to be performed prior to transporting Node 1 to the launch pad. Node 1 is scheduled to fly on STS-88
