During this mission, astronauts deployed two satellites—and remarkably, retrieved two others that had been stranded in the wrong orbit.  The satellite shown here is Westar 6, which was brought back to Earth, sold, and later re-launched in 1990—a rare and impressive feat in spaceflight history. | The Galactic Void | Facebook
