  Title: STS-35 MS Parker with DTO 0634 EDO trash compactor on OV-102's middeck
  Description:
  Flown for the first time, Development Test Objective (DTO) 0634 Trash 
  Compaction and Retention System Demostration extended duration orbiter
  (EDO)  trash compactor is operated by Mission Specialist Robert A.R. Parker
  on the  middeck of Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 102.  The middeck scene
  represents  an "after" picture of what happens to a large bag of trash
  during compaction.  The EDO trash compactor occupies one middeck locker and
  consists of a geared  mechanism that allows manual compaction of wet and
  dry trash.  The apparatus  was flown as a demonstration, designed to assess
  the feasibility of inflight  compaction of trash and crew-related debris.
