	STS-41-G - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SIR-B was part of the OSTA-3 experiment package in the payload bay, which also included the Large Format Camera (LFC) to photograph Earth, another camera called MAPS which measured air pollution, and a feature identification and location experiment called FILE which consisted of two TV cameras and two 70 mm still cameras.
		It operated throughout the flight but problems were encountered with the Challenger's Ku-band antenna and therefore much of the data had to be recorded on board the orbiter rather than transmitted to Earth in real-time as originally planned.
		Payload Specialist Scully-Powers, an employee of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, performed a series of oceanography observations during the mission.

		Payload specialists carry out scientific experiments connected with the payload (cargo) on the spacecraft.
		Most payload specialists are scientists who work for the owner of the payload.
		Payload specialists must have the education and training to conduct their experiment.

		While these payload specialists concern themselves with the conduct of their in-space scientific experiments, the navigation and other operational tasks for the Orbiter and Spacelab are handled by the career astronauts in the crew.
		]....payload specialist are on duty in either the module or on the flight deck, while the other three crew members sleep or relax until they take their turns on a 12-hour shift.
		The payload crew (both mission and payload specialists) were taken on flights in KC-135 jet aircraft in which weightlessness is simulated for up to 30 seconds at a time by operating the craft in parabolic curves to create a situation resembling the sensation one feels for a few seconds in a very fast descending elevator.

		A Payload Specialist is someone other than a NASA astronaut, who is assigned to a space mission by either a corporation or another country to oversee and help with a certain mission experiment.
		Usually a Payload Specialist will work on one specific experiment, but if it looks like a crew has too much work to handle on their own, the Payload Specialist will often lend a hand.
		They must have knowledge of all the experiments taking place on board, unless a Payload Specialist is in charge of the experiment and will not require help with it.

	Payload Specialist
		Payload specialists were named by the payload's sponsor (a commercial entity, foreign government or Agency, US government Agency, etc.) The legitimate purpose was to have aboard an engineering or scientific specialist intimately familiar with a particular experiment and able to operate and trouble-shoot it in orbit.
		Less legitimate, prior to the Challenger disaster, was the flying of representatives from companies or agencies that had paid for a commercial payload, or propaganda selections (politicians, teachers, journalists).
		Payload specialists were not trained in distinct selections or groups.
