ISS solar array repair. NASA astronaut Scott Parazynski carrying out a spacewalk to repair one of the solar arrays on the International Space Station (ISS). He is anchored to a foot restraint on the end of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS). The repair has been done, and Parazynski is assessing his work while the solar array is deployed. The spacewalk took over 7 hours, during which Parazynski cut a snagged wire and installed homemade stabilizers to strengthen the damaged solar array. Photographed on 3 November 2007, during mission STS-120.
