Title
Assembling Structures in the Payload Bay
Full Description
STS-49 Mission Specialist (MS) Kathryn C. Thornton (foreground)
releases a strut from the Multipurpose Experiment Support Structure
(MPESS) strut dispenser during Assembly of Station by Extravehicular
Activity Methods (ASEM) procedures in Endeavour's payload bay.
MS Thomas D. Akers, positioned on the opposite side of the MPESS, waits
for Thornton to hand him the final strut. The two astronauts are
building the ASEM structure during the mission's fourth EVA. The ASEM
structure, locked in at four corners to payload retention latch
assemblies (PRLAs), rises above the payload bay. In the background are
the Intelsat cradle, the vertical tail, and the orbital maneuvering
system (OMS) pods. The pale blue and white Earth is visible below.
