Title: STS-49 ASEM activities illustrated with PLAID computer graphics 
 
Description: 
 
STS-49 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, Assembly of Station by 
Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Methods (ASEM) activities are illustrated 
with PLAID computer graphics.  Two extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) 
suited  crewmembers work on multipurpose experiment support structure 
(MPESS) (with  legs attached) grappled by remote manipulator system (RMS) 
end effector and  positioned in the over-the-nose location (above OV-105's 
crew compartment).   This position has been designated as the assembly area 
for Space Station  Freedom (SSF).  This procedure will evaluate the ability 
to use the RMS to  position MPESS carrier and EVA crewmembers forward and 
above the PLB.
