  Title: STS-48 UARS Airborne Support Equipment (UASE) in OV-103's payload bay (PLB)
  Description:
  STS-48 Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) Airborne Support
  Equipment  (UASE) pallet is documented in the payload bay (PLB) of
  Discovery, Orbiter  Vehicle (OV) 103.  UASE stowed tool stanchion and
  handrails are visible in  the aft PLB now that UARS has been deployed. 
  UASE tools were carried aboard  OV-103 in event that the solar array (SA),
  high-gain antenna (HGA), payload  retention latches, or remote manipulator
  system (RMS) grapple fixture  required manual deployment by astronaut
  extravehicular activity (EVA). This  image was taken using an electronic
  still camera (ESC) as part of the  Development Test Objective (DTO) 648,
  Electronic Still Photography.  The  digital image was stored on a removable
  hard disk or small optical disk and  was converted to a format suitable for
  downlink transmission.
