Astronaut Kathryn Sullivan checks the latch of the SIR-B antenna in the Challenger's open cargo bay during her extravehicular activity (EVA). The orbital refueling system (ORS) is just beyond the mission specialist's helmet. To the left is the large format camera (LFC). The LFC and ORS are stationed on a device called the mission peculiar experiment support structure (MPESS).
