This 35mm panorama shows the science module, for the second International Microgravity Laboratory (IML-2) and the Space Shuttle Columbia's cargo bay, backdropped against the darkness of space over part of Africa, on Earth's horizon. Lake Nyasa in Malawi can easily be delineated. Also visible are part of the country of Mozambique and the Indian Ocean. Six NASA astronauts and a Japanese payload specialist spent more than two weeks of experimenting in Earth-orbit. Onboard were NASA astronauts Robert D. Cabana, James D. Halsell, Jr., Richard J. Hieb, Carl E. Walz, Donald A. Thomas and Leroy Chiao along with payload specialist Dr. Chiaki Mukai, representing the National Space Development Agency (NASDA) of Japan.
