    I am unsure if this answers the first question but I am aware that on at
    least some previous missions (not sure about this one) cams were situated in
    the payload bay.  You can see the layout of the payload bay on
    http://spaceresearch.nasa.gov/sts-107/overview.html#payload  (so sad to see
    the pic of Kalpana there though!)
    
    Over to others on the second question.
