  Title: STS-49 ASEM activities illustrated with PLAID computer graphics
  Description:
  STS-49 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, Assembly of Station by
  Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Methods (ASEM) activities are illustrated
  with PLAID computer graphics.  Two extravehicular mobility unit (EMU)
  suited  crewmembers work on multipurpose experiment support structure
  (MPESS) (with  legs attached) grappled by remote manipulator system (RMS)
  end effector and  positioned in the over-the-nose location (above OV-105's
  crew compartment).   This position has been designated as the assembly area
  for Space Station  Freedom (SSF).  This procedure will evaluate the ability
  to use the RMS to  position MPESS carrier and EVA crewmembers forward and
  above the PLB.
