Keywords: Full view of Space Shuttle Orbiter Challenger in space, taken by the Space Pallet Satellite (SPAS). A heavily cloud-covered portion of the earth forms the backdrop for this scene of Challenger. Visible in the payload bay are the protective cradles for the Palapa-B and Telesat F communications satellites, the pallet for the NASA Office of Space and Terrestrial Applications (OSTA-2), the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) robot arm in the shape of the numeral seven and the KU- band antenna. A number of GetAway Special (GAS) canisters are also visible along the port side. <a href="http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/ABSTRACTS/GPN-2000-001031.html" rel="nofollow">grin.hq.nasa.gov/ABSTRACTS/GPN-2000-001031.html</a>
