In the Space Station Processing Facility, astronauts Soichi Noguchi (left) and Sandra Magnuson (right) are learning important information from a technician about the Node 2 module overhead. They and other astronauts are familiarizing themselves with the various elements to be installed on the International Space Station on future spaceflights. With construction of the Space Station the primary focus of future shuttle missions, astronaut crews will be working with one or more of the elements and hardware already being processed in the SSPF.
