Most of the U.S. Lab module underwent testing at MSFC building 4708 prior to shipment to KSC, but there were several items that had to be retested for one reason or another. Hence, "regression testing." This testing was performed as part of a task agreement between MSFC and the International Space Station Program Office.
Martin Palik of Boeing, a Mission Ops contractor named Chris Benson, and I took these pictures with a digital camera that was provided by the JSC Resident Office at KSC. I had to doctor most of the Lab interior images a bit because it's hard to get good pictures of shiny surfaces. I also took some pictures of other flight hardware in the SSPF. The original uncropped, unprocessed pictures are on a server at KSC.
