S84-27026 (3-11 Feb. 1984) --- The "star burst" type informal portrait of Space Shuttle crews has become somewhat of a tradition and the five-member STS-41B crew is no exception. HOLD PICTURE WITH SEMI-CIRCLE AT LOWER RIGHT CORNER. Counter clockwise from the lower left are Astronauts Vance D. Brand commander; Robert L. Gibson, pilot; and Dr. Ronald E. McNair; Bruce McCandless II and Robert L. Stewart, all mission specialists. The five are on the mid-deck of the Earth-orbiting Challenger. The "semi-circle" is actually part of the monodisperse latex reactor (MLR) experiment. A pre-set 35mm camera was triggered automatically to expose the frame.
