Organization (INTELSAT) onorbit repair and redeployment activity is 
illustrated with PLAID computer graphics. This view of pre-capture 
procedures  shows extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suited astronauts in 
OV-105's  payload bay (PLB) removing the capture bar from its stowed 
position on the  port side longeron.  The crewmember positioned in the 
manipulator foot  restraint (MFR) mounted on the remote manipulator system
