STS-47 Mission Specialist Mae C. Jemison appears to be clicking her heels in zero gravity in the center aisle of the Spacelab Japan science module aboard the Earth-orbiting Endeavour. Making her first flight in space, Dr. Jemison was joined by five other NASA astronauts and a Japanese payload specialist for eight days of research in support of the SLJ mission, a joint effort between Japan and United States. 09/1992
