Title: View of STS-1 payload bay and aft section
Description:
Cargo bay and aft section of the Space Shuttle orbiter Columbia
photographed  through the flight deck's aft windows. In the lower right
corner is one of  the vehicle's radiator panels. Some of the thermal tiles
are missing from the  orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pods which flank the
vertical stabilizer at  left edge of the photograph. A collection of
possible support equipment is  housed in the box-like devices (lower left)
known as the development flight  instrument pallet. The pentagon-shaped
glare at upper left is caused by  window reflection.
