    Report #14 
    Tuesday, January 28, 2003 -- 5 p.m. CST 
    Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas 
     
    The Red team of astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia accomplished repairs 
    on the third and final combustion experiment of STS-107 this afternoon, and support 
    scientists on the ground were looking forward to working with the Blue team on the 
    first scientific runs.
    
    Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla reported a good leak check of the Combustion 
    Module-2 Facility about 4 p.m. after five hours of work. She and Commander Rick 
    Husband sent down video of the recovery procedures for the Water Mist Fire Suppression 
    Experiment (MIST) around 2 p.m. to give engineers on the ground an opportunity to 
    visually inspect the equipment. The combustion facility, which provides control, 
    containment, diagnostics and communications for fire-related experiments, worked 
    flawlessly in support of the two previous combustion experiments, but failed its 
    initial leak checks when MIST was installed Monday.
    
    Payload Commander Michael Anderson of the Blue team is scheduled to begin work 
    with the MIST experiment overnight.  Designed by the Center for Commercial Applications 
    of Combustion in Space at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colo., the 
    experiment will investigate how water mist inhibits the spread of flames. 
    Scientists hope to apply what they learn to designs for improved, lighter-weight 
    fire suppression systems on Earth, as well as for spacecraft-based systems that 
    won't require ozone-damaging chemicals such as Halons.
    
    Husband, Chawla and Red team colleagues Lauren Clark and Ilan Ramon enjoyed some 
    time off for the first half of their day, then moved ahead with other experiments 
    in the Spacehab Research Double Module. Clark retrieved samples associated with 
    the Bioreactor Demonstration System, which Project Scientist Tom Goodwin reported 
    today has grown a bone and prostate cancer tumor tissue sample as large as a golf 
    ball, the largest grown in space to date. She also collected blood and urine samples 
    from her crewmates for the Physiology and Biochemistry (PhAB4) suite of experiments. 
    Ramon also conducted observations of dust off the African coast for the Mediterranean 
    Israeli Dust Experiment (MEIDEX).
    
    After a 2:39 p.m. CST wake-up to the Beach Boys singing "I Get Around," the Blue 
    team of Anderson, Pilot Willie McCool and Mission Specialist Dave Brown resumed 
    work with the tests of their breathing, hearts and muscle associated with Advanced 
    Respiratory Monitoring System. Anderson was scheduled to check on the condition of 
    the animals on board, which has continued to be good.
