Description: 
 
During STS-47, the Spacelab Japan (SLJ) module exterior is photographed  
through the aft flight deck windows.  SLJ module is located in the payload  
bay of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, and connected to the crew  
compartment via the spacelab (SL) transfer tunnel.   In the foreground, is  
the SL tunnel and support struts.  On SLJ's forward end cone are the  
insignias of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the SLJ mission.  Rising  
behind the SLJ module are the vertical tail and the two orbital maneuvering  
system (OMS) pods.  In the distant background is the Earth's cloud-covered  
surface.
