| Description |
STS-56 crewmembers pose on aft flight deck of Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, for this in-cabin electronic still camera (ESC) photograph. Clockwise from the bottom right corner are Commander Kenneth Cameron, Mission Specialist 3 (MS3) Ellen Ochoa, MS2 Kenneth D. Cockrell, and Pilot Stephen S. Oswald. The crewmembers are positioned in front of the onorbit station. The image was recorder with the Hand-held, Earth-oriented, Real-time, Cooperative, User-friendly, Location-targeting and Environmental System (HERCULES). HERCULES is a device that makes it simple for Shuttle crewmembers to take pictures of Earth as they merely point and shoot any interesting feature, whose latitude and longitude are automatically determined in real time. In-cabin shots are for test purposes only. |

STS-56 Commander Cameron uses SAREX on OV-103's aft flight deck |
| Description |
STS-56 Commander Kenneth Cameron, wearing headset and headband equipped with penlight flashlight, uses the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment II (SAREX-II) on the aft flight deck of Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103. Cameron, positioned just behind the pilots seat, talks to amateur radio operators on Earth via the SAREX equipment. SAREX cables and the interface module freefloat in front of the pilots seat. The SAREX scan converter (a white box) is seen just above Cameron's head attached to overhead panel O9. SAREX was established by NASA, the American Radio League/Amateur Radio Satellite Corporation and the JSC Amateur Radio Club to encourage public participation in the space program through a program to demonstrate the effectiveness of conducting short-wave radio transmissions between the Shuttle and ground-based radio operators at low-cost ground stations with amateur and digital techniques. As on several previous missions, SAREX was used on this flight as an educational opportunity |

STS-56 inflight maintenance (IFM) air duct routing on OV-103's middeck |
| Description |
STS-56 inflight maintenance (IFM) repair on Discovery's, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103's, middeck was required to offset overheating problems with one of the onboard experiments -- Detailed Supplementary Objective (DSO) 322, Human lymphocyte locomotion in microgravity. This "elephant's trunk" fix was rigged from the airlock's air recirculation duct to DSO 322's forward locker location by Commander Kenneth Cameron. The "elephant's trunk" was fashioned from trash bags and other plastic items to extend an airline to the troubled area. DSO 322 is collecting data on the locomotion and migration of human lymphocytes through intercellular matrix and is testing the rotating wall vessel and the specimen temperature controller. In the background is the port side wall with the side hatch, middeck accomodations rack (MAR), and shuttle orbiter repackaged galley (SORG) visible. |
