Photographic documentation of Mission Specialists Bernard Harris, Jr. and Michael Foale handling the Shuttle Pointed Autonomous Research Tool for Astronomy-204 (SPARTAN-204) on the Space Shuttle Discovery's payload bay during STS-63. This procedure was practiced as part of Extravehicular (EVA) operations procedures and training, designed to isolate and demonstrate specific differences between training facility simulations and operations in the actual extravehicular activity environment.
