Astronaut participating in extravehicular activity.
Astronaut participates in a session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction and maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the spacewalk, mission specialists prepared the Japanese logistics module-pressurized section (JLP) (top left) for removal from Space Shuttle Endeavour's payload bay; opened the Centerline Berthing Camera System on top of the Harmony module; removed the Passive Common Berthing Mechanism and installed both the Orbital Replacement Unit (ORU) tool change out mechanisms on the Canadian-built Dextre robotic system, the final element of the station's Mobile Servicing System. The blackness of space and a blue and white Earth provide the backdrop for the scene.
