I believe that this experiment is a student experiment and will be flying
in the crew cabin middeck area.  Get-Away-Specials are not necessarily
student experiments and are flown in cannisters located in the payload bay.

The sponsor of the chicken egg experiment is Kentucky Fried Chicken.  It was 
originally manifested on 51-L, this one is a replacement.
