Title: BREMSAT satellite launched from STS-60 Discovery cargo bay 
 
Description: 
 
BREMSAT, a 140 pound (63 kilogram) satellite, quickly leaves the cargo bay 
of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The 480mm (19 inch) deployable satellite 
was built by the University of Bremen's Center of Applied Space Technology 
and Microgravity (ZARM) under sponsorship of the German Space Agency 
(DARA). A modified ejection system in one of the payload bay's getaway 
special (GAS) type canisters aided the STS-60 crew members in deploying the 
satellite toward the end of their eight-day mission in Earth orbit.
