  Title: STS-57 MS & PLC Low, in EMU and atop the RMS, is maneuvered in OV-105's PLB
  Description:
  The darkness of space forms the backdrop for this extravehicular activity 
  (EVA) scene captured by one of the STS-57 crewmembers in Endeavour's,
  Orbiter  Vehicle (OV) 105's, crew cabin.  Pictured near the recently
  "captured"  European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) at frame center is
  Mission Specialist  (MS) and Payload Commander (PLC) G. David Low. Suited
  in an extravehicular  mobility unit (EMU), Low, anchored to the remote
  manipulator system (RMS) via  a portable foot restraint (PFR) (manipulator
  foot restraint (MFR)), is  conducting Detailed Test Objective (DTO) 1210
  procedures.  Specifically, this  activity will assist in refining several
  procedures being developed to  service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on
  mission STS-61 in December 1993.   The PFR is attached to the RMS end
  effector via a PFR attachment device  (PAD).  Partially visible in the
  foreground is the Superfluid Helium Onorbit  Transfer (SHOOT) payload.
