A couple of questions..

  1. How long did the shuttle orbit Earth?
  2. Where do the crew members eat, sleep, and work? The area forward of the payload bay looks tiny.
  3. What exactly did work consist of for a crew member on the shuttle?

Atlantis had a total of 33 flights, ranging from 4 days to 12 days. Missions included launching probes and satellites, installing modules on the new ISS, servicing Hubble, and some classified missions for the DoD.

There's another deck below the flight deck with sleeping quarters, the bathroom, and the airlock to the payload area.
