  Title: STS-49 MS Thornton poses on OV-105's middeck for DTO 648 ESC image capture
  Description:
  STS-49 Mission Specialist (MS) Kathryn C. Thornton poses on the middeck of 
  Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, as part of Development Test Objective 
  (DTO) 648, Electronic Still Photography Test (With Downlink).  Thornton, 
  holding onto the airlock hatch opening mechanism, was 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.
