Views of the OSS-1 pallet. Photos includes close-up view of the OSS-1
pallet at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. Visible in the
picture are the different experiment packages. In the upper right hand
corner on a table is a portion of the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP) and
the Contamination Monitor Package. In front of the table is the Vehicle
Charging and Potential Experiment. The first round object in the center of
the pallet is the PDP antenna. Beside it is the Solar Flare X-Ray
Polarimeter Experiment (round container) and below that is the Solar
Ultraviolet Spectral Irradiance Monitor. The grate like object is the
Thermal Canister experiment. On the lower left of the pallet is part of
the Induced Atmosphere Experiment (IAE). On the upper left of the pallet
is the rest of the IAE and the Vehicle Charging and Potential experiment
(26354); Technicians at Goddard check out the installation of some of the
experiments aboard the OSS-1 (26355).
