  Title: STS-49 MS Melnick poses onboard OV-105 for DTO 648 ESC image capture
  Description:
  STS-49 Mission Specialist (MS) Bruce E. Melnick poses on aft flight deck of 
  Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, as part of Development Test Objective 
  (DTO) 648, Electronic Still Photography Test (With Downlink).  Melnick 
  standing under an aft flight deck overhead window is one of the initial 
  scenes recorded by the Electronic Still Camera (ESC).  Electronic still 
  photography is a new technology which provides the means for a handheld 
  camera to electronically capture and digitize an image with resolution 
  approaching film quality.  DTO 648 will determine camera response to the 
  photographic conditions encountered onorbit using a variety of lenses and 
  camera settings.
