STS039-15-017 (3 May 1990) --- This STS-39 35mm scene shows the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) Shuttle Pallet Satellite (SPAS-II) during its berthing following a period of data collection. During the eight-day flight, SPAS collected data in both a free-flying mode and while attached to the end effector of Discovery's remote manipulator system (RMS).
