The primary duty of the STS-93 crew was to deploy the Chandra X-Ray observatory, the world's most powerful X-Ray telescope. It was also one of the first actions of the crew, occurring just a few hours following Columbia's arrival in Earth orbit. This pre-deploy scene is one of a series of electronic still photos recorded by the crew before and during the deployment of the 50,162 pound observatory.
