  Title: STS-46 EURECA-1L held in pre-deployment position by RMS over OV-104's PLB
  Description:
  STS-46 European Retrievable Carrier 1L (EURECA-1L) satellite with solar 
  arrays extended, is grappled by the remote manipulator system (RMS) end 
  effector and is positioned above the payload bay (PLB) of Atlantis, Orbiter 
  Vehicle (OV) 104 during pre-deployment activities.  In the foreground the 
  IMAX Cargo Bay Camera (ICBC) mounted on Small Payloads Accomodations (SPA) 
  getaway special (GAS) beam interface appears on the starboard wall and the 
  stowed Tethered Satellite System 1 (TSS-1) satellite mounted in the
  satellite  support assembly (SSA) on the unpressurized spacelab (SL) pallet
  (center).   The scene is backdropped by the Earth's limb.  A 16mm lens
  gives this 35mm  frame a "fish-eye" effect.
