description	The following caption accompanies the image: "Huntsville woman physicist in payload Spacelab finals - Mrs. Ann F. Whitaker, a physicist and her laboratory's lead engineer at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is one of the six finalist being considered for the first Spacelab mission. This initial Spacelab mission which is scheduled to fly aboard the Space Shuttle sometime in the mid-1980s, will have among its crew two "payload specialists" selected for the trip. Out of 18 scientists first considered, Mrs. Whitaker now stands the chance of being not only one of the first Spacelab scientists, but the first woman to be sent into outer space from the United States. The Spacelab mission is a joint venture of NASA and the European Space Agency. Here she is shown in a mock-up of the Spacelab where various types of tests will be undertaken at the MSFC before the actual flight."
