Fisher and van Hoften in Discovery's Payload Bay

During their August 31 and September 1, 1985, extravehicular activities (EVAs), STS-51I astronauts William F. Fisher (left) and James D. van Hoften succeeded in the capture, repair and re-release of the troubled Syncom IV-3 (Leasat-3) satellite. Here, the two take a break from the serious side of their EVA to look into Discovery's cabin.
