It has sold one of its satellites to the Los Alamos National Laboratory but Los Alamos would buy only the satellite's structure, refusing to give Surrey the business of putting in the payload, the sensitive innards of the satellite.
Special meals could only justify their place in the payload if they helped to boost morale.
In the payload were electronic equipment and food for the crew, as well as twenty live mice slated for dissection.
Included in the payload are a second toilet and new sleep quarters, and the first-ever station refrigerator for beverages so astronauts can enjoy a cold drink.
When the mission is over a signal will be sent to the heaters that will kill all life in the payload.
And so all we had trained to do from a space walk perspective were those things that might be an emergency or, a latch did not work in the payload bay closing sequence or something like that.
A twin-camera multispectral instrument in the payload bay of the shuttle has been scanning desert particles whipped into the atmosphere and, at night, making images of the tops of some of the thousands of thunderstorms that rumble through the atmosphere every hour.
The payload comprised a large radar antenna in the payload bay and a smaller element deployed on a 60-m (197-ft) boom; together the two devices operated in the synthetic-aperture mode to produce the effect of a much larger antenna.
Taken into Earth orbit in the payload bay of a space shuttle, the laboratory consisted of two separate segments: a pressurized 16-ton module in which astronauts could work and supervise experiments in a shirtsleeve environment and a pallet for external payloads.
As you link a picture, it could show up in the payload as a preview.
