STS-37 Mission Specialist (MS) Jerry L. Ross operates the mass handling wheel on the Crew Loads Instrumented Pallet (CLIP) mounted on the starboard side of Atlantis', Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104's, payload bay (PLB). MS Jerome Apt photographed this scene from the aft PLB while testing the manipulator foot restraint (MFR) grappled by the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector. In the foreground is the RMS arm which is bent at the elbow joint with the closed circuit television (CCTV) visible at the top of the frame. Along the PLB port side is the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) deployable track and the various CETA carts. Along the PLB starboard side are the ascent particle monitor (APM) (foreground) and the Ku-band antenna deployed above Ross as he works at CLIP. In the background is the crew compartment PLB bulkhead with CCTV cameras, vent tubes, open airlock hatch, and aft flight deck viewing windows (W9 and W10).
