Summary
The original finding aid described this as:
Description: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is pictured in the STS-61 orbiter Endeavour's payload bay following its capture and berthing early in the eleven-day mission. Astronauts F. Story Musgrave and Jeffrey A. Hoffman are pictured near the end of the first of five STS-61 space walks. Musgrave works at the Solar Array Carrier (SAC) in the Space Shuttle Endeavour's cargo bay. Hoffman, anchored to a foot restraint mounted on the end of Endeavour's RMS arm, waits to be maneuvered to the forward payload bay. The original solar array panels are partially visible at top, while their replacements remain stowed in the foreground.
