Title: View of Astronaut Bruc McCandless during EVA 
 
Description: 
 
Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, 41-B mission specialist, tests a mobile foot  
restraint (MFR) attached to the remote manipulator system (RMS). The aft  
portion of the Challenger, to which the RMS is connected, is seen in the  
lower left corner. The protective cradle that the WESTAR VI satellite used 
in  the left corner of the frame. Below McCandless can be seen the cloudy 
surface  of the earth (27037,27040); McCandless "rides" the RMS arm during 
a lengthy  EVA. The 41-B mission specialist has his eyes on the shuttle 
pallet satellite  (SPAS-01A) in the middle of the Challenger's cargo bay 
(27038); McCandless  appears to be walking on cargo, but is realy being 
flown over it by the  combination of MFR and RMS. His helmet visor reflects 
parts of the payload  bay that can't be seen in the larger portion of the 
photo. Behind him can be  seen both the orbital maneuvering system (OMS) 
pods (27039).
