STS087-320-025 (19 November – 5 December 1997) --- Astronauts Winston E. Scott (left) and Takao Doi (partially obscured by his location in the dark shadows), await the right opportunity to grab onto the Spartan satellite. Later, when the Space Shuttle Columbia had moved closer to Spartan, the two mission specialists were able to successfully grab the satellite manually and berth it in Columbia's cargo bay. The end effector of Columbia's Remote Manipulator System (RMS), with its video camera recording the activities, is in the upper right corner. Winston E. Scott was making his second space flight and his second extravehicular activity (EVA). Takao Doi, an international mission specialist stationed at the Johnson Space Center (JSC), represents the Japan’s National Space Development Agency (NASDA).
