  Title: STS-48 MS Gemar, reviewing checklist on OV-103's middeck, is captured by ESC
  Description:
  STS-48 Mission Specialist (MS) Charles D. Gemar, on the middeck, consults
  the  Payload Operations Checklist for procedures regarding the Shuttle
  Activation  Monitor (SAM) experiment.  SAM is designed to measure gama ray
  data within  the orbiter as a function of time and location. Gemar's
  experiment activities  aboard the earth-orbiting Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle
  (OV) 103, were captured  using the Electronic Still Camera (ESC). 
  Crewmembers were testing the ESC as  part of Development Test Objective
  (DTO) 648, Electronic Still Photography.   The digital image was stored on
  a removable hard disk or small optical disk,  and could be converted to a
  format suitable for downlink transmission.  The  ESC is making its initial
  appearance on this Space Shuttle mission.
