description

Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: Views of the payload bay and the ATLAS Earth Atmosphere research pallet experiment. The SPARTAN satellite is absent and has not yet been retrieved. Almost all images have the day/night terminator. Little of the Earth is visible in these scenes, most of the background is the black void of space and only a sliver of the Earth limb, at the day/night terminator, is visible. The Moon is visible as a half sphere in the far background.
