Summary

Various views of the third of five extravehicular activities (EVA) performed to repair the Hubble Space Telescope by the STS-61 mission. Views include: Wide view of the HST in the Endeavour's payload bay (with window reflection) (002). Astronaut F. Story Musgrave is reflected in the shiny surface of the HST as he works with a Portable Foot Restraint (PFR), preparing to install the new Wide Field/Plantary Camera (WF/PC 2). WF/PC 1 is seen temporarily stowed in the right foreground (003-5). Fish-eye view of Musgrave traversing the orbiter's payload bay sill after installing the WF/PC 2 (006-18). Musgrave, camera in hand, is photographed tethered to the HST (019). Fish-eye view Endeavour backdropped against the blackness of space, with the Sun displaying a rayed effect (starburst). The extended Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm that the astronaut was standing on is seen on the left side of the view (020-4). Astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman signals directions to Swiss Astronaut Claude Nicollier, as the latter controls the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm during the third of five space walks on the HST. A portion of the Earth's surface can be seen directly behind him (025-31). Views 003, 024 and 026 were selected by PAO to be released to the public.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
