International Space Station: Astronaut Exit - The International Space Station: EVA Astronaut: Astronaut Rick (Richard) Linnehan during the third extravehicular Exit of the STS-123 mission, March 18, 2008. Anchored to a Canadarm2 mobile foot restraint, astronaut Rick Linnehan, STS-123 mission specialist, participates in the mission's third scheduled session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction and maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the 6-hour, 53-minute spacewalk, Linnehan and astronaut Robert L. Behnken (out of frame), mission specialist, installed a spare-parts platform and tool-handling assembly for Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator (SPDM). Among other tasks, they also checked out and calibrated DEXT's end effector and attached critical spare parts to an external stowage platform. The new robotic system is scheduled to be activated on a power and data grapple fixture located on the Destiny laboratory on flight day

Atlantis amarree la station spatiale 07/2011 - Atlantis docked to the International Space station 07/2011 - The space shuttle Atlantis moored to the International Space Station (ISS) on July 18, 2011. Mission STS-135, the last United States space shuttle mission. This view of the space shuttle Atlantis while still docked with the International Space Station was taken by a crew member aboard the station on the final day of joint activities between the crew members for the STS - 135 and Expedition 28 missions. The robotic arm on the shuttle appears to be saluting “” good - bye”” to the station. Earth's airglow is seen as a thin blue line above Earth's horizon. The Raffaello multi - purpose logistics module, full of items to be returned to Earth, is seen in the aft cargo bay. 18 July 2011

Reflection in the helmet of an astronaut - Reflection in the helmet visor of an astronaut - Self-portrait of Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide during a space trip on September 5, 2012. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide, Expedition 32 flight engineer, uses a digital still camera to expose a photo of his helmet visor during the mission's third session of extravehicular activity (EVA). During the six - hour, 28 - minute spacewalk, Hoshide and NASA astronaut Sunita Williams (visible in the reflections of Hoshide's helmet visor), flight engineer, completed the installation of a Main Bus Switching Unit (MBSU) that was hampered last week by a possible misalignment and damaged threads where a bolt must be placed. They also installed a camera on the International Space Station's robotic arm, Canadarm2. The bright sun is visible at left. Sep 5, 2012

Spacewalk: Extravehicular exit of J.Tanner. 12/09/2006. Astronaut Joseph R. Tanner, STS-115 mission specialist, looks toward the digital still camera of his space walk colleague, astronaut Heidemarie M.
