  2. The shuttle lifts off from Cape Canaveral January 16, 2003. Columbia disintegrates over Texas February 1, 2003. What experiments where on board?

  6. Space Trivia

  7. Web Links Space Research and You -- (NASA/OBPR) the home page of the STS-107 research mission. Science@NASA stories about STS-107: Shear Mystery -- Some fluids have a mysterious property: one moment they're thick, the next they're thin. Physicists aim to find out why with the aid of an experiment in space. The Physics of Sandcastles -- An upcoming shuttle mission will carry small columns of sand into space, and will return with valuable lessons for earthquake engineers, farmers and physicists. Space Scents -- Researchers hunting for new and profitable fragrances will soon send a pair of flowers into Earth orbit. Balancing Brains -- NASA researchers are learning new things about the human brain by studying how astronauts regain their balance. Floating Flame Balls -- Flames do something odd in space: they form tiny almost-invisible balls that might reveal the secrets of combustion here on Earth. Sowing Seeds in a Magnetic Field -- Scientists hope that an unusual experiment slated for launch on STS-107 will reveal how plants know up from down. Mossy Space Spirals -- Samples of fire moss that travel onboard the space shuttle do something odd: they spiral. Scientists say it's a clue to the fundamental inner workings of plant cells. Confounded by Coffee -- Here's something to ponder over your next cup of joe: the physics of a humble bag of coffee grounds still holds surprises for scientists. Evangelista Torricelli's discovery of vacuum triggered a revolution in scientific thinking about the nature of air and matter. It also enabled new kinds of experiments, which could be done only in the "alien environment" of a vacuum chamber.
