  Title: STS-49 onorbit payload bay (PLB) configuration aboard OV-105 taken by ESC
  Description:
  STS-49 onorbit payload bay (PLB) configuration aboard Endeavour,  Orbiter
  Vehicle (OV) 105, is documented by the Electronic Still Camera (ESC)  as
  part of Development Test Objective (DTO) 648, Electronic Still Photography 
  Test (With Downlink).  Various elements in the PLB foretell of a busy week 
  ahead for OV-105's crew.  In the foreground is the hardware for the
  Assembly  of Station by Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Methods (ASEM), which
  is a  demonstration of extravehicular procedures required for the
  construction of  Space Station Freedom (SSF).  Backdropped against the aft
  firewall is the  vertical perigee stage which EVA crewmembers will attach
  to the International  Telcommunications Organization Satellite (INTELSAT)
  VI F-3 on 05-10-92.   Running along the port side sill longern is the
  stowed remote manipulator  system (RMS) arm.  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.
