File Description:
This addon reproduces the SpaceHAb RDM that was the main research facility during STS-107. The SpaceHAB RDM made its first flight on STS-107 but it was lost when the Space Shuttle Columbia broke up over the north-central area of Texas. The SpaceHAB RDM was developed by SpaceHAB Inc. for NASA to provide modern microgravity research facilities to fly on the Space Shuttle. The SpaceHAB RDM measures 4.5 m in width, 3.3 m in height and 11 m in length. It is so long because it uses an external airlock to provide access to the module as it is located in the payload bay.
