Perfect! I think it would be way too much to ask to pressurize the whole bay so I'd think they had units to fit in the bay that were pressurized. Also I've seen the shuttle cockpit and the "locker" room below, so it would be nice to stretch your legs in that sucker.
On some missions, two modules were flown together to make a SPACEHAB Logistics Double Module, providing more room for experiments and storage.
Topic, this is hard to explain.I'm looking for information on the skylab-like units they put in the shuttle bay which they could connect to the hatch and work in a pressurized environment. These units stay in the shuttle bay. Am I thinking incorrectly here and the shuttles launched satellites and/or connected to mir/ISS every mission?
SpaceHAB related question: On which missions was either or both of the XO576 bulkhead CCTV cameras (A/D) moved to the aft bulkhead of the SpaceHAB? Two missions I'm aware of are STS-95 (both cameras relocated) and STS-107 (camera D relocated the left camera platform of the SpaceHAB), but where there any others? And what was the reason for relocating these cameras?

Was there anything special they wanted to keep an eye on during those missions?
On a similar tangent: The RMS end effector camera, was it different in any way from the other cameras that were mounted on PTUs? Or was it bog standard, just not mounted on a PTU?
Can someone confirm that the forward-most edge of the PLBD forward curvature are located at XO576 and the aft-most edge where they meet the mid-fuselage is at XO582?
I seem to remember soome footage of a Big Wing Canberra that was going to be monitoring Discovery's descent--flying 'chase'.Anyone have any links?
