Does anybody know if the shuttle airlock has been flown in the payload bay
postion? I mean bolted to the payload bay side of the crew cabin aft bulkhead,
if I remember correctly it can be flown inside the crew compartment, outside
the crew compartment or between the tunnel adapter and the docking adapter.
Since a contingency EVA is provided for on all flights, where is the airlock
located for a SpaceLab flight. With the tunnel installed how is access to the
payload bay acheieved? As far as I can figure it must go outside on top of the
tunnel adapter with the hatch facing 'up' in the bay. Any body know for sure,
or better yet know where I can find pictures of this config?
thanks
