Title
Armed and Ready
Full Description
STS-49 Mission Specialist Pierre Thuot is perched on the end effector
of the Robot Arm (Remote Manipulator System/RMS), with the Intelsat VI
capture bar.
This would be one of many attempts to "grapple" the Intelsat VI
satellite which was rendered inoperative when its Payload Assist Module
(PAM) motor failed to fire thus preventing it from reaching an
operational altitude.
