This picture was taken during the third space walk of the HST's First Servicing Mission. The original Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WF/PC-1) has been removed. Astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman, standing on the robot arm, grips it by the portable hand-hold, which has been bolted onto the camera during the space walk. A crucial piece of his equipment, the power ratchet tool, can be seen at his waist. He used it for unbolting the WF/PC-1 from the HST. Now he is preparing to clamp the camera temporarily on the grey bracket visible at lower left center.
Later, WF/PC-1 was put into a box the size of a grand piano that had been used to bring the new camera, WFPC2, up from Earth. The old camera was brought back, first to the Goddard Space Flight Center, and then to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, so it could be inspected and any reusable parts taken out.
The gold-colored object at the lower left is a camera, which can be operated both from the crew cabin on the Shuttle and from the ground. This camera supplied much of the video coverage of the space walks during the HST First Servicing Mission.
Astronaut Story Musgrave, who is not in the picture, was Hoffman's partner on this space walk.
