  Title: STS-35 MS Hoffman operates ASTRO-1 MPC on OV-102's aft flight deck
  Description:
  STS-35 Mission Specialist (MS) Jeffrey A. Hoffman, wearing headset and 
  monitoring closed circuit television (CCTV) display screen, operates the 
  Astronomy Laboratory 1 (ASTRO-1) manual pointing controller (MPC) on the
  aft  flight deck of Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 102. MPC is used to
  position  the instrument pointing system (IPS) and its three ultraviolet
  telescopes in  OV-102's payload bay (PLB).  Hoffman and other crewmembers
  were able to  command the IPS to record astronomical data using the MPC. 
  At Hoffman's left  are the onorbit station control panels and the two aft
  flight deck viewing  windows W9 and W10.
