  Title: STS-56 MS1 Foale and MS2 Cockrell on aft flight deck of Discovery, OV-103
  Description:
  STS-56 Mission Specialist 1 (MS1) Michael Foale (left) and MS2 Kenneth D. 
  Cockrell pose on aft flight deck of Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103,
  for  this in-cabin electronic still camera (ESC) photograph.  The two
  crewmembers  are positioned in front of the onorbit station with a beam of
  sunlight  shining through overhead window W8.  The cable on the bottom
  right is part of  the Hand-held, Earth-oriented, Real-time, Cooperative,
  User-friendly,  Location-targeting and Environmental System (HERCULES),
  connecting the  HERCULES Attitude Processor (HAP) to the Inertial
  Measurement Unit (IMU).  In-cabin shots with the camera are for test
  purposes only.  HERCULES is a  device that makes it simple for Shuttle
  crewmembers to take pictures of Earth  as they merely point and shoot any
  interesting feature, whose latitude and  longitude are automatically
  determined in real time.  Digital file name is  ESC01008.TGA.
