“STS-63 EVA VIEW --- A high angle shot photographed by a space walking crew member showing the Space Shuttle Discovery's forward section and forward cargo bay. The Spacehab-3 and Ku-band antenna are visible. This is one of 16 still photographs released by the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) Public Affairs Office (PAO) on February 14, 1995. Onboard the Discovery were astronauts James D. Wetherbee, mission commander; Eileen Collins, pilot; Bernard A. Harris Jr., payload commander; mission specialist’s C. Michael Foale, Janice E. Voss, and cosmonaut Vladimir G. Titov.”
Although I’m really not that into onboard shuttle photography, other than some of those taken of/during EVAs, this one is legitimately an excellent & creative composition. Captured is an excellent smorgasbord ranging from the Portable Foot Restraint (with Astronaut/Payload Commander Bernard A. Harris attached), the RMS end effector & whatever that thing with the axes/coordinate lettering is…that’s also attached, earth’s limb, Orbiter TPS tiles in detail, etc., etc. All topped off by a crew member (his/her right hand at least, maybe even left) visible in the right corner of the left-hand overhead window, seen taking a photograph of the EVA, probably with a Nikon F3 camera.
Additionally, I’m pretty sure the photograph was taken by Mission Specialist C. Michael Foale (see linked image below).
And, t’s even autographed by Mission Specialist Vladimir G. Titov.
