Attempt to capture Intelsat satellite on spacewalk

This attempted capture of the Intelsat VI was the first single-crewmember EVA capture attempt. This photo was taken from the Endeavour's aft flight deck windows and shows EVA Mission Specialist Pierre Thuot standing on the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) end effector platform, with the satellite capture bar attempting to attach it to the free-floating communications satellite.
