Galley and Dining Area: The Station's galley, to be located in the Habitation Module, will be efficient and utilitarian. Yet, compared to the Space Shuttle's food preparation and dining facilities, the Station galley will be far more luxurious. Shuttle crewmembers spend only a couple of weeks in space, so they can endure that period of time with limited food selection and no specific dining area. But Space Station crewmembers will spend months in orbit, so they will need more food diversity, a larger refrigeration and storage area, and a good place to enjoy a meal. |
