Title:
View of the Columbia's open payload bay
Description:
This clear view of the aft section of the Earth-orbiting Columbia's cargo bay and some of its cargo was photographed through the flight-deck's aft windows. Visible in the center of the photo are the twin orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pods. The vertical stabilizer or tail splits the top part of the image in half. The Induced Environment Contamination Monitor (IECM) Location experiment is located in the back center of the cargo bay, near the top. There is a grapple fixture attached to the side of the IECM. Various components of the Office of Space Terrestrial Applications (OSTA-1) payload are seen near the aft section of the cargo bay, such as the Feature Identification and Location Experiment (FILE) (the long cone shaped object on the right back), the Shuttle Multispectral Infrared Radiometer (SMIRR) (on pallet base) and the SIR-A recorder in the right forground. In the left foreground the Shuttle Imaging Radar-A (SIR-A) antenna can be seen.
