  Title: STS-30 Magellan spacecraft is unpacked at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) SAEF-2
  Description:
  At the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) inside the Space Assembly and
  Encapsulation  Facility 2 (SAEF-2) (planetary checkout facility), the cover
  of the Payload  Environmental Transportation System (PETS) is removed so
  that the Magellan  spacecraft can be hoisted from the PETS trailer to the
  clean room floor.   Clean-suited technicians guide the cover above
  plastic-wrapped spacecraft  using rope.  The spacecraft, destined for
  unprecedented studies of the  Venusian topographic features, is to be
  deployed by the crew of NASA STS-30  mission in April 1989.  View provided
  by KSC with alternate number  KSC-88PC-1083.
