Title: STS-56 MS1 Foale and MS2 Cockrell on aft flight deck of Discovery, OV-103

Description:

STS-56 Mission Specialist 1 (MS1) Michael Foale (left) and MS2 Kenneth D. 
Cockrell pose on aft flight deck of Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103,
for  this in-cabin electronic still camera (ESC) photograph.  The two
crewmembers  are positioned in front of the onorbit station with a beam of
sunlight  shining through overhead window W8.  The cable on the bottom
right is part of  the Hand-held, Earth-oriented, Real-time, Cooperative,
User-friendly,  Location-targeting and Environmental System (HERCULES),
connecting the  HERCULES Attitude Processor (HAP) to the Inertial
Measurement Unit (IMU).  In-cabin shots with the camera are for test
purposes only.  HERCULES is a  device that makes it simple for Shuttle
crewmembers to take pictures of Earth  as they merely point and shoot any
interesting feature, whose latitude and  longitude are automatically
determined in real time.  Digital file name is  ESC01008.TGA.
