Summary

[edit]
Description
English: SPARTAN-201 while free-flying on STS-56. During STS-56, the Shuttle Pointed Autonomous Research Tool for Astronomy 201 (SPARTAN-201), a freeflying payload, is captured as it orbits above the Earth. Backdropped against heavy cloud cover over the Mediterranean Sea, the SPARTAN-201 was photographed by the crewmembers aboard Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103. SPARTAN-201 was later captured by OV-103's remote manipulator system (RMS) and returned to Earth with the astronaut crew. Note the tip of OV-103's vertical stabilizer (tail) at the frame's edge. Raw 16-bit TIFF scan.
