STS-37 Crew and Equipment Translation Aid test.jpg
Jay Apt during the second EVA on STS-37.
STS-37 Mission Specialist (MS) Jerome Apt, suited in extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), tests Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) electrical hand pedal cart during extravehicular activity (EVA) in Atlantis', Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104's, payload bay (PLB). Apt works his way along the CETA deployable track mounted on OV-104's PLB port side. The ascent particle monitor (APM) is visible on the starboard side in the foreground. In the background are the aft PLB bulkhead and the vertical tail and orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pods. Crewmembers spent several hours evaluating means of performing future EVA chores, transporting tools and crewmembers, etc. on Space Station Freedom (SSF).

Ross, suited in extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), peers into Atlantis', Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104's, aft flight deck viewing window while performing emergency extravehicular activity (EVA) procedures in the payload bay (PLB). The unscheduled EVA was necessary to manually extend the Gamma Ray Observatory's (GRO's) high gain antenna (HGA). The GRO grappled by the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector and held above the PLB is visible in the background. The entire scene is backdropped against the blue and white surface of the Earth.
