Views of the Chandra telescope take with HDTV on STS-93

99-E-10022 (23 July 1999) --- The Chandra X-Ray observatory was recorded with the STS-93 HDTV Camcorder as it moved from its stowed position in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Columbia. The blue and purple airglow over Earth's horizon forms part of the backdrop for the scene. Deployment of the giant telescope occurred only hours after the shuttle reached Earth orbit.
