The five-member 51-A crew celebrates a successful mission. The front row of astronauts are holding up signs which say "The Eagle Flies High", "2 up, 2 down, the Ace Repo Co." and "The Ace Repo Co., The Sky's no limit". The reference to the Eagle has to do with the Discovery crew's mascot, which appeared both in the crew portrait and insignia.
