Astronaut Terrence W. Wilcutt, pilot, takes advantage of the weightless environment of space to juggle five cameras onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour's flight deck. Wilcutt's actions were symbolic of how the six STS-68 crewmembers must have felt, switching variegated camera hardware to record the changing geography and oceanography of Earth. A large format Linhof camera is at left, joining a battery of handheld Hasselblad cameras. Wilcutt and colleagues spent eleven days aboard Endeavour in Earth-orbit, in support of the Space Radar Laboratory-2 (SRL-2) mission. October 1994.
