Title: Astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman on RMS robot arm during HST repairs
Description:
Astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman (frame center) remains secured by his feet on
the end of the Endeavour's robot arm as he prepares to participate in the
replacement of Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) Wide Field/Planetary Camera
(WF/PC). Astronaut F. Story Musgrave (just in frame at lower left corner)
assists Hoffman in removing the new camera (WF/PC2) from the Scientific
Instrument Protective Enclosure (SIPE). Electronic still photography is
technology which provides the means for a handheld camera to electronically
capture and digitize an image with resolution approaching film quality.
