S92-26522 (Feb 1992) --- Crewmembers assigned to NASA's STS-45 mission are briefed on the use of the Linhof camera in the flight operations facility at the Johnson Space Center (JSC). Charles F. Bolden, mission commander, stands at left. Other crewmembers (seated clockwise around the table from lower left) are Dirk Frimout of Belgium representing the European Space Agency as payload specialist; Charles R. (Rick) Chappell, backup payload specialist; Brian Duffy, pilot; Kathryn D. Sullivan, payload commander; David C. Leestma, mission specialist; Byron K. Lichtenberg, payload specialist; and C. Michael Foale, mission specialist. James H. Ragan (far right), head of the flight equipment section of the flight systems branch in JSC's Man Systems Division, briefs the crewmembers. Donald C. Carico, of the crew training staff and Rockwell International, stands near Bolden. The camera, used for out-the-window observations, is expected to be used frequently on the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS-1) mission, scheduled for a March date with the Space Shuttle Atlantis.
