  Title: STS-57 Pilot Duffy uses TDS soldering tool in SPACEHAB-01 aboard OV-105
  Description:
  STS-57 Pilot Brian J. Duffy, at a SPACEHAB-01 (Commercial Middeck 
  Augmentation Module (CMAM)) work bench, handles a soldering tool onboard
  the  Earth-orbiting Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105. Duffy is
  conducting a  soldering experiment (SE) which is part of the Tools and
  Diagnostic Systems  (TDS) project.  He is soldering on a printed circuit
  board, positioned in a  specially designed holder, containing 45 connection
  points and will later  de-solder 35 points on a similar board.  TDS'
  sponsor is the Flight Crew  Support Division, Space and Life Sciences
  Directorate, JSC.  It represents a  group of equipment selected from tools
  and diagnostic hardware to be  supported by the Space Station program.  TDS
  was designed to demonstrate the  maintenance of experiment hardware
  on-orbit and to evaluate the adequacy of  its design and the crew
  interface.
