View of the Syncom IV satellite in orbit over the earth

41D-02-020 (31 Aug 1984) --- The Syncom IV (Leasat-2) spacecraft stands out against white clouds above the Atlantic Ocean moments after departing the Discovery's cargo bay in a frisbee-like manner. The Syncom's deployment marked the second of three scheduled satellite placements for the six member crew of the six-day 41-D flight. A later frame (41D-32-067) shows the spacecraft after a slender antenna had been deployed.
