Title: STS-49 MS Thornton in OV-105's payload bay during ASEM procedures 
 
Description: 
 
STS-49 Mission Specialist (MS) Kathryn C. Thornton works a strut into a 
node  ball at the top of the Assembly of Station by Extravehicular Activity 
(EVA)  Methods (ASEM) structure being constructed in Endeavour's, Orbiter 
Vehicle  (OV) 105's, payload bay (PLB).  Thornton joins the three struts 
together as  STS-49's fourth period of EVA proceeds.  Clouds over the ocean 
share the  background with the remote manipulator system (RMS) end 
effector. This EVA  designed to evaluate ASEM completed a record-setting 
four sessions of EVA on  this nine-day mission.
