51A-41-021 (12 Nov 1984) --- Astronaut Joseph P. Allen IV, top, hangs onto a stinger device, which earlier had stabilized the pictured Palapa B-2 communications satellite, as astronaut Dale A. Gardner in the cargo bay of Discovery waits to assist in the berthing of the previously stranded spinning spacecraft. The end effector of the remote manipulatore system (RMS), controlled from inside Discovery's cabin by astronaut Anna L. Fisher, grasps a special grapple point to Allen's right. A fellow crewmember on the flight deck, using a 70mm handheld Hasselblad camera, exposed the frame. The activity took place on November 12, 1984.
