STS057-32-008 (25 June 1993) --- Astronaut G. David Low (nearer camera), his feet anchored to Endeavour's Remote Manipulator System (RMS), lifts fellow astronaut Peter J. K. (Jeff) Wisoff during a special phase of the lengthy June 25, 1993, extravehicular activity (EVA). This phase of the EVA dealt with the simulation of handling large components in space. This particular task was rehearsed with eyes toward the servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in the near future or the assembly and maintenance of the International Space Station later. The two mission specialists and four other NASA astronauts spent almost ten days aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in Earth-orbit supporting the SPACEHAB mission, retrieving the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) and conducting various experiments.
