STS-49 MS Thuot poses in OV-105's airlock for DTO 648 ESC image capture
<ul><li>STS-49 Mission Specialist (MS) Pierre J. Thuot looks up from his checkout procedures in the airlock of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, to have his picture taken for Development Test Objective (DTO) 648, Electronic Still Photography Test (With Downlink).  Thuot, inspecting an extravehicular  mobility unit (EMU) component, was recorded by the Electronic Still Camera (ESC). Electronic still photography is a new technology which provides the means for a handheld camera to electronically capture and digitize an image  with resolution approaching film quality. DTO 648 will determine camera  response to the photographic conditions encountered onorbit using a variety  of lenses and camera settings.</li></ul>
