Photosynthesis Experiment and System Testing and Operation (PESTO)

When Space Shuttle Atlantis launches from KSC on mission STS-110, April 4, it will carry more than seven astronauts and hardware bound for the International Space Station. KSC's most complex plant experiment, PESTO (Photosynthesis Experiment and System Testing and Operation) also will make the trek to the Station.

The PESTO experiment will travel in a Biomass Production System (BPS) inside Atlantis' crew compartment during flight. The BPS is an engineering development unit for a future ISS plant habitat capable of supporting long-term plant growth and botanical experimentation in space. The BPS was developed for NASA by Orbital Technologies Corp.

STS-110 - 4" - Unknown maker

STS-110 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on 8–19 April 2002 flown by Space Shuttle Atlantis. The main purpose was to install the S0 Truss segment, which forms the backbone of the truss structure on the station.
The main purpose of STS-110 was to attach the S0 Truss segment to the International Space Station (ISS) to the Destiny Laboratory Module. It forms the backbone of the station to which the S1 and P1 truss segments were attached (on the following missions STS-112 and STS-113, respectively).
STS-110 also delivered the Mobile Transporter (MT), which is an 885 kilograms (1,950 lb) (1,950 lb) assembly that glides down rails on the station integrated trusses. During the next shuttle mission, STS-111, the Mobile Base System (MBS) was mounted to the MT. This Mobile Servicing System (MSS) allows the Canadarm2 to travel down the length of the installed truss structure.
