Photographic documentation showing 41G crew activities. Astronauts Mission Specialist 1 (MS1) Kathryn D. Sullivan (left), and MS2 Sally K. Ride show off what appears to be a bag of worms, a product of their creativity. The bag is a sleep restraint and the majority of the worms are springs and clips used with the sleep restraint in its normal application. Clamps, a bungee cord and Velcro strips.
Space Shuttle Mission 41G was the first with two female astronauts.
