(Tom) Henrick, mission commander, prepare a sample cartridge containing semiconductor crystals for Spacelan research.The crystals were later placed in the Advanced Gradient Heating Furnace (AGHF) in the Life and Microgravity Spacelab (LMS-1) Science Module. The AGHF is designed for directional solidification of the crystals in the sample cartridges. The microgravity of space allows the crystals to grow in a perfect state that can't be accomplished in Earth gravity
