  Title: STS-57 astronauts Low & Wisoff, in EMUs, perform DTO 1210 EVA in OV-105's PLB
  Description:
  Backdropped against the blue and white Earth, Mission Specialist (MS) and 
  Payload Commander (PLC) G. David Low and MS3 Peter J.K. Wisoff, wearing 
  extravehicular mobility units (EMUs), simulate handling of large components 
  in space.  Above Endeavour's, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105's, payload bay
  (PLB),  Low, anchored by a portable foot restraint (PFR) (manipulator foot
  restraint  (MFR)) on the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector,
  maneuvers Wisoff,  representing the mass of a large space component.  This
  particular task was  rehearsed with eyes toward the servicing of the Hubble
  Space Telescope (HST)  or the assembly and maintenance of Space Station.
  This extravehicular  activity (EVA), Detailed Test Objective (DTO) 1210,
  was conducted both with  and without intentional disturbances from OV-105's
  thrusters and movements of  the RMS.  This phase of DTO 1210 will enable
  helpful evaluation for the HST  wide field planetary camera (WFPC) during
  the STS-61 HST-servicing mission.   The SPACEHAB-01 (Commercial Middeck
  Augmentation Module (CMAM)) is visible in  the foreground with the
  Superfluid Helium Onorbit Transfer (SHOOT) payload  liquid helium dewar
  assembly and the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA)  only partially
  visible in the aft PLB shadows.  The vertical stabilizer and  orbital
  maneuvering system (OMS) pods are silhouetted against the Earth's  surface.
