STS006-44-582 (5 April 1983) --- A 70mm camera through the aft windows of the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Challenger’s cabin centered on the starboard orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pod of the reusable spacecraft. Two pieces of thermal protection system tile appear to have loosened. The view also shows one of the cargo bay television cameras, part of the EVA slide wire system, three handrails and other features on the aft bulkhead. Part of the airborne support equipment (ASE) for the now vacated inertial upper stage (IUS)/tracking and data relay satellite (TDRS) tandem is in lower right foreground. Photo credit: NASA
