Half of the four-member astronaut crew for the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Columbia’s STS-5 mission is pictured on the flight deck of the reusable vehicle. Astronaut Vance D. Brand, commander, holds down the commander’s station at left, while astronaut Robert F. Overmyer, pilot, points to data on one of three cathode ray tubes (CRT) on the forward flight deck.
