  Title: Astronaut Kathryn Thornton on HST photographed by Electronic Still Camera
  Description:
  This view of Astronaut Kathryn C. Thornton working on the Hubble Space
  Telescope (HST) was photographed by an Electronic Still Camera (ESC), and
  downlinked to ground controllers soon afterward. Thornton, anchored to the
  end of the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm, is installing the +V2 Solar
  Array Panel as a replacement for the original one removed earlier.
  Electronic still photography is a technology which provides the means for a
  handheld camera to electronically capture and digitize an image with
  resolution approaching film quality.
