Image Caption: During STS-57, the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) is grappled by Endeavour's, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105's, remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector and is held in transfer to retrieval orbit before being stowed in the payload bay (PLB) for return to Earth. The southern two-thirds of the state of Florida, part of the Gulf of Mexico, and clouds over the Atlantic Ocean form the backdrop.
