The Space Shuttle could hold a flying laboratory called Spacelab in its cargo bay. Three French-made computers ran Spacelab. I opened up a Spacelab computer and found that instead of a microprocessor, it is built from a multitude of simple chips. Let's take a closer look at the computer...

A typically delightful Kraftwerk tune is given an early techno influence, a hint of things to come. It's another mother-tongue version but annoyingly 'Spacelab' is 'Spacelab' in German so I needn't have bothered. 😅

#OTD in 1991, STS-40 (Spacelab Life Sciences 1), the first Spacelab mission dedicated to biomedical studies lifted off from Kennedy Space Center.
Aboard was molecular biologist & payload specialist Millie Hughes-Fulford--the first woman to fly as a working scientist for NASA. #WomenInSTEM
