Its vertical trajectory against an azure sky evokes a sense of wonder and anticipation for what lies beyond our earthly realm. Onboard this historic flight is a courageous crew of seven individuals who are destined to spend 14 days in orbit. Their primary objective: to conduct microgravity experiments within the Spacelab Life Sciences-2 module.
