The USML-1 mission provided new insights into theoretical models of fluid physics, the role of gravity in combustion and <a href="/wiki/Flame_spread" title="Flame spread">flame spreading</a>, and how gravity affects the formation of semiconductor crystals. Data collected from several protein crystals grown on USML-1 enabled scientists to determine the molecular structures of those proteins. </p><p>USML-2 built on that foundation. Technical knowledge gained was incorporated into the mission plan to enhance procedures and operations. Where possible, experiment teams refined their hardware to increase scientific understanding of basic physical processes on Earth and in space, as well as to prepare for more advanced operations aboard the International Space Station and other future space programs. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:STS-73_landing.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/STS-73_landing.jpg/400px-STS-73_landing.jpg" decoding="async" width="400" height="253" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/STS-73_landing.jpg/600px-STS-73_landing.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/STS-73_landing.jpg/800px-STS-73_landing.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2689" data-file-height="1704" /></a><figcaption>The landing of STS-73.</figcaption></figure> <p>USML-2 Flight controllers and experiment scientists directed science activities from NASA's Spacelab Mission Operations Control facility at the Marshall Space Flight Center.
