  Title: STS-49 Endeavour, OV-105, INTELSAT capture 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. An extravehicular mobility unit 
  (EMU) suited astronaut, positioned on a portable foot restraint (PFR) in 
  OV-105's payload bay (PLB), secures INTELSAT VI capture bar extension in 
  retention latch y-guides prior to satellite serving.  The remote
  manipulator  system (RMS) end effector (left of center) grasps the capture
  bar grapple  fixture and holds the INTELSAT VI in place during perigee
  stage attachment  procedures.  This is one of a series of scenes depicting
  the sequence of  events NASA plans to unfold in the rescue of the errant
  INTELSAT VI  satellite.
