Anchored on the end of Endeavour's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm, Jeffrey Hoffman (foreground) prepares to install the new Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WFPC II) into the empty cavity (top left) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). WFPC I is seen temporarily stowed at bottom right. Story Musgrave works with a Portable Foot Restraint (PFR) at frame center, as his image is reflected in the shiny surface of the telescope. Hoffman and Musgrave shared chores on three of the five space walks during the STS-61 mission.
