Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Satellite Business Systems (SBS-3) satellite is deployed from its protective cradle in the cargo bay of Columbia. Part of both orbital maneuvering system pods are seen at center. The vertical stabilizer is obscured by the satellite.
  • The Satellite Business Systems (SBS-3) spacecraft springs from its protective 'cradle' in the cargo bay of the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Columbia and head toward a series of maneuvers that will eventually place it in a geosynchronous orbit. This moment marks a milestone for the Space Transportation System (STS) program, as the placement of the communications satellites represents the first deployment of a commercial satellite from an orbiting space vehicle. Part of Columbia's wings can be seen on both the port and starboard sides. Also both orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pods are seen at center. The vertical stabilizer is obscured by the satellite. The closed protective cradle device shielding Telesat Canada's ANIK C-3 spacecraft is seen between the other shield and the OMS pod. ANIK is to be launched on the mission's second day. This photograph was exposed through the aft windows of the flight deck.
