S93-25647 (6 Jan 1993) --- Part of the educational activities onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour for STS-54 will include several experiments with various toys, some of which are depicted here. The detailed supplementary objective (DSO-802) will allow the Shuttle crewmembers to experiment with the various types of toys in a microgravity environment while talking to pupils who will be able to monitor (via classroom TV sets) the activities at a number of schools. Among toys seen here are a friction car and loop track, paper eagle, and a balloon helicopter.
