Title: STS-57 MS2 Sherlock operates RMS THC on OV-105's aft flight deck

Description:

STS-57 Mission Specialist 2 (MS2) Nancy J. Sherlock operates the remote 
manipulator system (RMS) translation hand control (THC) while observing 
extravehicular activity (EVA) outside viewing window W10 on the aft flight 
deck of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105.  Positioned at the onorbit 
station, Sherlock moved EVA astronauts in the payload bay (PLB). Payload 
Commander (PLC) G. David Low with his feet anchored to a special restraint 
device on the end of the RMS arm held MS3 Peter J.K. Wisoff during the RMS 
maneuvers.  The activity represented an evaluation of techniques which
might  be used on planned future missions -- a 1993 servicing visit to the
Hubble  Space Telescope (HST) and later space station work -- which will
require  astronauts to frequently lift objects of similar sized bulk. 
Note: Just  below Sherlock's left hand a "GUMBY" toy watches the actvity.
