Description
English: STS-49 Approach to INTELSAT VI F3. In Background you can see Cape Canaveral.
Deutsch: STS-49 erreicht den INTELSAT VI F3 Satelliten. Im Hintergrund ist Cape Canaveral.
STS-49, the first flight of the Space Shuttle Orbiter Endeavour, lifted off from launch pad 39B on May 7, 1992 at 6:40 pm CDT. The STS-49 mission was the first U.S. orbital flight to feature 4 extravehicular activities (EVAs), and the first flight to involve 3 crew members working simultaneously outside of the spacecraft. The primary objective was the capture and redeployment of the INTELSAT VI (F-3), a communication satellite for the International Telecommunication Satellite organization, which was stranded in an unusable orbit since its launch aboard the Titan rocket in March 1990. This onboard photo depicts Florida’s Atlantic coast and the Cape Canaveral area as the backdrop for this scene of the INTELSAT VI’s approach to the Shuttle Endeavour.
