This STS-9 mission (Spacelab-1) onboard photograph shows astronaut Owen Garriott drawing a blood sample from astronaut Byron Lichtenberg inside Spacelab-1 science module for one of the life sciences experiments, called "Effects of Prolonged Weightlessness on the Humoral Immune Response of Humans." The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of weightlessness on the body's immune response or ability to resist disease. Blood samples were obtained from crewmembers at designated times before, during, and after flight. These specimens were analyzed for changes in antibody levels. The Spacelab mission STS-9, managed by the Marshall Space Flight Center, (MSFC) was launched on November 28, 1983.
