Spacehab has won a $4.2 million contract from NASA to supply an integrated cargo carrier (ICC) and two Spacehab Oceaneering Space Systems Boxes - unpressurised tool boxes - for next year's Space Shuttle International Space Station (ISS) assembly flight 7A.1. It will be the first flight of an ICC without a Spacehab pressurised module attached. The contract exercises the first of six options for ICC flights to the ISS. Spacehab has also signed an agreement with the Singapore- based Institute of Molecular Agriobiology in association with two US laboratories to fly protein crystal growth experiments in a Spacehab module next January.
