  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) is inspected 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 (KSC) with alternate
