A spacelab is a small space station built
by the EUROPEAN_SPACE_AGENCY, carried in the
cargo bay of the US space shuttle, in which
it remains throughout each flight, returning
to Earth with the shuttle. Spacelab consists
of a pressurized module in which astronauts
can work, and a series of pallets, open to
the vacuum of space, on which equipment is
mounted.
