This contained 12 instruments to perform experiments on the chemistry of the atmosphere,solar radiation,space plasma physics and ultraviolet astronomy. The three black spheres are part of the Space Experiments with Particle Accelerators (SEPAC) instrument. The cylinder at centre is the IGLOO,the payload's power supply.
