One of the core units of a Spacelab module. It is shown here
being moved within the ERNO's Integration Hall.

Engineers working on the Instrument Pointing System (IPS).
The IPS is used for heavier instruments (e.g., the solar
telescopes carried on Spacelab 2) which require more precise pointing
than the shuttle alone can provide (aproximately 0.1 degree accuracy).
