Crewmember activity in the middeck

STS085-359-032 (7 - 19 August 1997) --- During off-duty time astronauts N. Jan Davis, payload commander, and Stephen K. Robinson, mission specialist, try their hands at chopsticks while having a meal of some Japanese rice on the Space Shuttle Discovery's mid-deck. Astronaut Curtis L. Brown, Jr., mission commander, is partially out of frame at left. Robinson and Brown are wearing special wrist bands that support a Detailed Supplementary Objective (DSO) experiment. Though Japan's National Space Development Agency (NASDA) had no crew members aboard, it did have a major payload -- the Manipulator Flight Demonstration (MFD) hardware -- in Discovery's cargo bay.
