Before you draw your design for a shuttle crew galley, make sure you use the steps outlined in Lesson 7, The Design Process.

Your problem, as engineer, is to design a shuttle galley that will meet these requirements:

The galley will be used to handle all food preparations, including rehydrating food, heating food, and storing utensils and accessories. Here are some web references that will help you with your design:

	Galley Description
	Space Food Fact Sheet
	Galley Picture
	Plan a Space Meal

You will also find excellent information in the NASA curriculum, Space Food and Nutrition, which can be downloaded directly.

Search the NASA web site for additional information you need. .

Don't be limited by the actual design of the shuttle galley. Use your imagination, but work within the constraints of the problem. When you have completed your design, please share it with us. Email your .cad, .jpg or .gif file to us.
