STS-31 ONBOARD SCENE -- Most of the giant Hubble Space Telescope (HST) can be seen as it is suspended in space by Discovery's remote manipulator system (RMS), following the deployment of part of its solar panels and antennae. The photo was taken with a handheld Hasselblad camera. This was among the first photos NASA released on April 30 from the five-day STS-31 mission.
