  Title: STS-48 ESC closeup of Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) CLAES
  Description:
  The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), is documented during STS-48
  pre-deployment checkout above the payload bay (PLB) of the earth-orbiting 
  Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103.  When this closeup view of the UARS' 
  Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES) was taken, the UARS was in 
  the grasp of OV-103's remote manipulator system (RMS). This view was taken 
  using an electronic still camera (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.
