  Title: STS-46 EURECA spacecraft during processing at Astrotech Space Operation
  Description:
  STS-46 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, European Retrievable Carrier 1L
  (EURECA-1L) stowed solar array is checked out by German aerospace workers
  at  the Astrotech Space Operations spacecraft processing facility in
  Titusville,  Florida.  The clean-suited workers have just removed EURECA-1L
  from its  shipping container.  Designed and built by an international
  contractor team  lead by the German firm MBB / ERNO, the spacecraft is
  scheduled for  deployment from OV-104's payload bay (PLB) during STS-46. 
  The European Space  Agency (ESA) is sponsoring EURECA-1L, a free-flying
  reusable research  platform that will be deployed and retrieved at a later
  date by another  Shuttle crew.  View provided by the Kennedy Space Center
