Title: Views of EVA performed during STS-6 
 
Description: 
 
Two STS-6 mission specialists busy near the aft bulkhead were photographed  
with a 70mm camera. Astronauts F. Story Musgrave (at winch device near  
center) and Donald H. Peterson are setting up winch operations at the aft  
bulkhead as a simulation for a contingency extravehicular activity (EVA). 
The  orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pods are seen in the background 
(30211);  Musgrave translates down the Challenger's payload bay door hinge 
line with a  bag of latch tools. In the lower left foreground are three 
canisters  containing three getaway special (GAS) experiments. Part of the 
starboard  wing and OMS pod are seen in the background. The gold-foil 
protected object  on the right is the airborne support equipment for the 
inertial upper stage  (IUS) (30212); Peterson (starboard side) and Musgrave 
evaluate the handrail  system on the starboard longeron and aft bulkhead 
during an EVA. Behind them  the vertical stabilizer and OMS pods frame a 
portion of Mexico's state of  Jalisco (30213); Musgrave suspends himself 
midway between the starboard and  port slide wire systems to evaluate the 
pull strength of the reel-in safety  tether while Peterson busies himself 
along the port side at the right edge of  the frame (30214).
