Summary

[edit]
Description
English: STS-29 IUS with TDRS-D after deployment from Discovery
During STS-29, the inertial upper stage (IUS) with tracking and data relay satellite D (TDRS-D) undergoes thermal rolls and orientation after reaction control subsystem activation following deployment from Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103. As the STS-29 payload drifts against the blackness of space, the IUS (white) and the TDRS-D with solar cell panels still closed around the stowed single access #1 and #2 and S-Band omni antenna are visible. When at its final destination high above the Earth, TDRS-D will become TDRS-4 and no longer maintain this cylindrical form, having transferred into an operational satellite with antenna spanned out in various directions and its IUS discarded. Nadir latitude 15 North and Nadir longitude 115.1 West.
