EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Space Shuttle Orbiter Challenger in all its glory, as seen from the perspective of the Space Pallet Satellite (SPAS). Against a backdrop of heavily cloud-covered Earth, Challenger stands out with its impressive size and intricate details. In this full view shot, we can observe various elements within the payload bay. The protective cradles for the Palapa-B and Telesat F communications satellites are visible, showcasing their importance in expanding global connectivity. Additionally, we can spot the pallet housing NASA's Office of Space and Terrestrial Applications (OSTA-2), highlighting humanity's continuous pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet. One prominent feature is the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) robot arm shaped like a numeral seven. This robotic wonder serves as an extension of human capabilities in space exploration and plays a crucial role in handling delicate tasks outside the spacecraft. The KU-band antenna catches our attention with its sleek design, enabling seamless communication between Challenger and mission control on Earth. Alongside these remarkable components are several GetAway Special (GAS) canisters lining the port side. These containers hold experiments or instruments developed by individuals or organizations eager to contribute to scientific advancements. This extraordinary image not only showcases technological achievements but also symbolizes mankind's unyielding curiosity about what lies beyond our home planet.
