Astronaut at Work
Astronaut James S. Voss is shown here, anchored to the Space Shuttle Atlantis' mechanical arm. He spent six hours on a spacewalk preparing to upgrade the International Space Station. This image captures him maneuvering outside the shuttle's cargo bay, high above Earth. This was the 85th US spacewalk and the fifth dedicated to the ISS construction.
