1.   An advanced version of the device will be installed aboard the planned international space station to prevent small disturbances from disrupting sensitive physics and biotechnology experiments.

2.   Astronauts also activated a range of biotechnology experiments Wednesday.

3.   But an electrical short discovered Tuesday brought an early end to several small biotechnology experiments.

4.   Much of their time will be spent in the school bus-size Spacelab module, working on a range of medical, biology, physics and biotechnology experiments.

5.   The satellite could be used as a platform for certain kinds of biotechnology experiments, for Earth-viewing cameras or computer chip production, Rossi said.

6.   The shuttle crew also conducted more than two dozen science, medical and biotechnology experiments.

7.   Throughout the day, Glenn was engaged in a range of medical and biotechnology experiments, furnishing blood and urine specimens for a muscle loss investigation.
