Racking up 100,000 Hours in Space (Archive: NASA, International Space Station, 11/19/13)
Astronaut James Voss, flight engineer of Expedition Two, performs a task at a workstation in the International Space Station (ISS) Destiny Laboratory. Eight floor-to-ceiling science racks were built and outfitted at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. As of November 2013, the racks had operated more almost 100,000 hours providing power, data and video recording, communications systems and many other services to science experiments on station. Marshall engineers keep the racks working and test science equipment on the ground before new experiments are sent to the station. Astronaut Scott Horowitz, STS-105 mission commander, floats through the hatchway leading to the Unity node, the first U.S. element delivered to the station. Unity and Destiny also were built in the Marshall Center's advanced manufacturing area.
