NASA Photo ID: STS048(E)015        File Name: 10065042.jpg

  Title: STS-48 ESC closeup of Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), pre-deploy
  Description:
  Grappled by the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector, the Upper 
  Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) undergoes STS-48 pre-deployment
  checkout  above the payload bay (PLB) of the earth-orbiting Discovery,
  Orbiter Vehicle  (OV) 103.  The UARS solar array unfolds below the RMS end
  effector and the  Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES) appears
  above it.  An  outrigger truss (far right), the Particle Environment
  Monitor (PEM) Zenith  Energetic Particle System (ZEPS) (to left of truss),
  and PEM Nadir Energetic  Particle System (NEPS) magnetometer (lower right)
  are visible. 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.
