  Title: STS-49 ASEM activity illustrated with PLAID computer graphics
  Description:
  STS-49 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, Assembly of Station by
  Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Methods (ASEM) activity is illustrated with
  PLAID computer graphics.  An extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suited 
  crewmember, positioned on the remote manipulator system (RMS) manipulator 
  foot restraint (MFR), grabs and maneuvers the multipurpose experiment
  support  structure (MPESS) with truss assembly attached above OV-105's
  payload  bay (PLB) using the steer wheel assembly. The MPESS/ASEM truss
  structure has  been lifted out the sill-mounted payload retention latch
  assemblies (PRLAs)  and will be repositioned in the PRLAs upon completion
  of handling procedures.  Also seen in this illustration are the empty
  INTELSAT perigee stage cradle  structure (aft PLB) and the capture bar
  grapple fixture stowed on the port  side sill longeron.
