The crew of 1996 shuttle mission STS-75 work on the third United States Microgravity Payload (USMP-3), a project designed to investigate materials science and condensed matter physics. They use the Middleneck Glovebox Facility to carry out combustion experiments. The three combustion investigations on STS-75 were Comparative Soot Diagnostics, Forced Flow Flame Spreading Test, and Radiative Ignition and Transition to Spread Investigation.
Astronauts on STS-75, a 1996 shuttle mission launched primarily to carry the Tethered Satellite System Reflight into orbit, observe the Moon setting through the Earth's atmosphere.
