  Title: STS-49 MS Hieb, in EMU, waves at ESC on OV-105's middeck prior to EVA
  Description:
  STS-49 Mission Specialist (MS) Richard J. Hieb, wearing extravehicular 
  mobility unit (EMU), waves at the Electronic Still Camera (ESC) on the 
  middeck of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105.  The ESC image was taken as 
  part of Development Test Objective (DTO) 648, Electronic Still Photography 
  Test (With Downlink).  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
  on orbit  using a variety of lenses and camera settings.
