AGHF aboard LMS Spacelab

ESA's Advanced Gradient Heating Facility (AGHF) flew aboard the Life & Microgravity Sciences (LMS) Spacelab mission in June 1996 for materials processing experiments. NASA Payload Commander Susan Helms is seen extracting a processed experiment cartridge from the AGHF furnace. The door of the cartridge storage container is opened and one cartridge tray is removed. 13 experiment cartridges were processed during the LMS mission. [Image Date: 1996/06] [98.04.007-008]
