  Title: STS-49, OV-105, INTELSAT capture scene illustrated with PLAID graphics
  Description:
  STS-49 Endeavour, OV-105, International Telecommunications Satellite
  Organization (INTELSAT) onorbit repair and redeployment activity is
  illustrated with PLAID computer graphics. This view of pre-capture
  procedures  shows extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suited astronauts in
  OV-105's  payload bay (PLB) removing the capture bar from its stowed
  position on the  port side longeron.  The crewmember positioned in the
  manipulator foot  restraint (MFR) mounted on the remote manipulator system
  (RMS) end effector  grips the capture bar steering wheel assembly.  In the
  aft PLB (at left) is a  perigee kick motor (PKM) which will be attached to
  the INTELSAT VI satellite  once it is captured.  In the forward PLB (at
  right) is the multipurpose  experiment support structure (MPESS) with
  stowed assembly of space station by  extravehicular activity methods (ASEM)
  hardware.
