LDEF (Flight), NASA history collection

An overall side view of Bays C through F on Rows 11 through 3 with the LDEF on the Remote Manipulator System arm. The aft flight deck window frame shadows the left edge of the photograph and the Earth with its cloud cover provides the background for the LDEF. Note the clean appearance of the white paints on thermal covers in row 12 when compared with similar paint on experiment hardware in rows 2 and 3. The white paint dots on the experiment tray clamp blocks on row 12 appear clean and darken as progressively as you approach row 3. The original bright yellow paint on the trunnion scuff plates on row 3 has darkened significantly.
