51D-44-046 (17 April 1985) --- The Space Shuttle Discovery's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm and two specially designed extensions move toward the troubled Syncom-IV (LEASAT) communications satellite during a station keeping mode of the two spacecraft in Earth orbit. Inside the Shuttle's cabin, astronaut Rhea Seddon, 51D mission specialist, controlled the Canadian-built arm in an attempt to move an external lever on the satellite. Crewmembers learned of the satellite's problems shortly after it was deployed from the cargo bay on April 13, 1985. The arm achieved physical contact with the lever as planned. However, the satellite did not respond to the contact as hoped. A 70mm handheld Hassellblad camera, aimed through Discovery's windows, recorded this frame -- one of the first to be released to news media following return of the seven-member crew on April 17, 1985.
