“Astronaut Dale A. Gardner, getting his turn in the manned maneuvering unit (MMU) like those used by five other astronauts this year, prepares to dock with a spinning Westar VI satellite. Gardner used a large tool called the apogee kick motor capture device (ACD) to enter the nozzle of a spent Westar engine and stabilize the communications spacecraft sufficiently to capture it for return to Earth in the cargo bay of the Discovery.”
