Title: STS-49 MS Thuot poses in OV-105's airlock for DTO 648 ESC image capture
Description:
STS-49 Mission Specialist (MS) Pierre J. Thuot looks up from his checkout
procedures in the airlock of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, to have
his picture taken for Development Test Objective (DTO) 648, Electronic
Still Photography Test (With Downlink). Thuot, inspecting an
extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) component, 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.
