STSprog_v_c_o_TPMBK (ca. 1978, unnumbered Martin Marietta/NASA photo)

One of a series of Martin Marietta promotional artworks depicting the utility & versatility of the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), manufactured by them. Here, an astronaut is servicing/repairing what appears to be a/the Large Space Telescope (LST), also/later-known as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
Note the interesting foot restraint configuration, either incorporated onto the exterior surface of the LST/HST, or possibly affixed to a mounting fixture on the satellite. And, apparently, no tools required…at least not in this instance…just a swap-out. 😉

One of many beautiful works by Charles O. Bennett.
