Title:
Astronaut Kathryn Thornton on HST photographed by Electronic Still Camera
Description:
This view of Astronaut Kathryn C. Thornton working on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was photographed by an Electronic Still Camera (ESC), and downlinked to ground controllers soon afterward. Thornton, anchored to the end of the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm, is installing the V2 Solar Array Panel as a replacement for the original one removed earlier. Electronic still photography is a technology which provides the means for a handheld camera to electronically capture and digitize an image with resolution approaching film quality.
