  Title: STS-57 remote manipulator system (RMS) grapples EURECA over OV-105's PLB
  Description:
  The European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA), with solar array (SA) panels 
  folded up flat against the spacecraft, is grappled by the remote
  manipulator  system (RMS) end effector and held over the payload bay (PLB)
  of Endeavour,  Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105.  The RMS will ease EURECA into its
  stowage position  in OV-105's aft PLB for return to Earth.  Partially
  visible in the foreground  are the SPACEHAB-01 module and the Superfluid
  Helium Onorbit Transfer (SHOOT)  liquid helium dewar assembly.  The Earth's
  limb creates the backdrop for the  scene.
