Bruce McCandless on mid-deck |
| Full Description |
STS-31 Mission Specialist Bruce McCandless II, wearing liquid cooling and ventilation garment (LCVG), works his way out of the extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) lower torso on the mid deck of Discovery. McCandless was in a standby mode to perform a spacewalk if needed to support Hubble Space Telescope (HST) deployment and post-deployment tasks on April 25, 1990. The deployment of the telescope was executed flawlessly, and McCandless' assistance was not needed. |

STS-31 crew monitors Hubble Space Telescope (HST) from OV-103's flight deck |
| Description |
A "fish eye" lens captured this overall view of the aft flight deck of Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, while the STS-31 crewmembers were monitoring the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) deployment checkout procedures. From front to back are Commander Loren J. Shriver, Mission Specialist (MS) Steven A. Hawley, and MS Bruce McCandless II looking up at overhead windows W7 and W8 and the HST on the remote manipulator system (RMS) outside them. The onorbit station control panels appear in front of the crewmembers and the ongoing scene outside the crew cabin is mirrored in the closed circuit television (CCTV) screens on McCandless' right. |
