  Title: EURECA orbits above the Earth's surface prior to STS-57 OV-105 RMS capture
  Description:
  Backdropped against open ocean waters, the European Retrievable Carrier 
  (EURECA) spacecraft, with solar array (SA) panels folded flat against its 
  sides, approaches Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, on flight day five.  
  Later, the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector was used to
  "capture"  the spacecraft.  After ten days in Earth orbit, the crew
  returned to Earth,  bringing EURECA home.
