Post, JSC Crew Systems Division, look over the packaged "parasol" during fabrication and checkout of the umbrella-like mechanical device in the Technical Services shop in building 10 at Johnson Space Center. The "parasol" is designed to fit into the T027 experiment photometer canister. The canopy portion of the "parasol" measures 24 feet by 22 feet.
