| The MMU is stored in the forward part of the cargo bay, so the
astronaut puts it on after leaving the airlock. It's attatched
to the side of the cargo bay on the starboard side just behind the
cabin. A second one (as applicable) is attached to the port side
across from the first. I'm not sure if there's an option for a
third, but I believe so....

| I beleive it's stowed on the forward bulkhead of the payload bay. The
astronaut straps in while it's mounted and then releases it (I don't
know how) and flies off.
The airlock exit is a small round hatch at the center-bottom of
the forward bulkhead and is much too small to pass somthing as
bulky as the MMU.

| Send me your M/S and I'll send you copies of the applicable pages
from the Space Shuttle Operator's Manual, it's got far more interesting
stuff in there about the shuttle. [For instance, there's a
prebreathing time in pure oxygen required (to prevent the bends)
before going on an EVA]. If you are going to write a story, you
want to have _all_ the details right, don't you?
BTW: There is room for one spare, not two.

| He can also buy or order the whole manual from any good bookstore,
which they recently revised (February, 1988). See Topic 373.
