  Title: STS-57 astronauts Low & Wisoff, in EMUs, perform DTO 1210 EVA in OV-105's PLB
  Description:
  Backdropped against the blackness of space and upside down in relation to 
  Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, 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 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, holds Wisoff and maneuvers him as
  if he were 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 tops of the  SPACEHAB-01 (Commercial Middeck Augmentation
  Module (CMAM)), Superfluid  Helium Onorbit Transfer (SHOOT) payload liquid
  helium dewar assembly, and the  European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) are
  visible in the PLB at left.  The  vertical stabilizer and the port orbital
  maneuvering system (OMS) pod are  visible in the background.
