File:STS-48 UARS deployment.jpg
Summary
The UARS is grappled by the RMS on STS-48.
The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is in the grasp of the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector above the payload bay (PLB) of the Earth-orbiting Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103 during STS-48 pre-deployment checkout procedures. UARS solar array (SA) is in the process of being deployed. Visible on the UARS are (top to bottom): the high-gain antenna (HGA); the Solar Stellar Pointing Platform (SSPP) (below HGA); outrigger truss; the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) spectrometer (above SA); the SA; RMS grapple fixture; the Particle Environment Monitor (PEM) Zenith Energetic Particle System (ZEPS) (top next to second outrigger truss); the PEM Nadir Energetic Particle System (NEPS) magnetometer (below ZEPS); an outrigger truss and keel pin; and the Multimission Modular Spacecraft (MSS).
