STS082-321-015 (11-21 Feb. 1997) --- This unusual view of the Space Shuttle Discovery's aft cabin and forward cargo bay was provided by one of two astronauts, some 40 feet away from the crew cabin, on the second of five Extravehicular Activities (EVA) designed to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) during the mission. Astronauts Gregory J. Harbaugh and Joseph R. Tanner were on or near the end of the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm when one of them exposed this 35mm frame. The mission marked the first flight for the exit airlock at lower center. The Ku-band antenna which supports the communications systems. At the time this picture was made, astronauts Mark C. Lee and Stephen L. Smith, the other pair of space walkers on the flight, were inside Discovery's cabin, along with three other astronaut crewmembers.
