Mae Jemison American NASA astronaut Mae Jemison conducts a Fluid Therapy System (FTS) experiment procedure, injecting a fluid into a mannequin's hand during research in the Spacelab Japan (SLJ) science module aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour during shuttle mission STS-47, 20th September 1992. FTS will examine the effect of low gravity on the administration of intravenous (IV) fluids in space, and since gravity assists in the delivery and flow of IV fluids on Earth, researchers want to determine what problems the absence of gravity would cause if an IV had to be administrated to an astronaut in space; American NASA astronaut Mark C Lee is partially visible at lower right.
