About this work

51A-41-021 (12 Nov 1984) --- Astronaut Joseph P. Allen IV, top, hangs onto a stinger device, which earlier had stabilized the pictured Palapa B-2 communications satellite, as astronaut Dale A. Gardner in the cargo bay of Discovery waits to assist in the berthing of the previously stranded spinning spacecraft. The end effector of the remote manipulatore system (RMS), controlled from inside Discovery's cabin by astronaut Anna L. Fisher, grasps a special grapple point to Allen's right.
