| Description: |
Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, mission specialist, participates in a extravehicular activity (EVA), a few meters away from the cabin of the shuttle Challenger. He is using a nitrogen-propelled hand-controlled manned maneuvering unit (MMU). He is performing this EVA without being tethered to the shuttle. Below him can be seen a cloud view of the earth (27017); McCandless approaches his maximum distance from the Challenger. He is framed by the blackness of space and below him a cloudy earth (27018); McCandless is centered in a background of clouds and earth in this view of his EVA. As in the others, he is floating without tethers (27019). |
