Title:
View of the Columbia's aft section while over Morocco's Atlantic Coast
Description:
Morocco's Atlantic coast is backdrop for view of the Columbia's aft section. The long remote manipulator system (RMS) is in a resting posture (lower right corner) stretched out along the 60-ft. long cargo bay. Many of the components of the OSS-1 payload package are in the bottom center, such as the Thermal Canister experiment (the box on the left side of the bay) and the Solar Flare X-Ray Polarimeter Experiment (round object below the Thermal Canister experiment). The mounds on either side of the tail are the pods for the orbital maneuvering system (OMS).
