Space Shuttle Discovery to Return After Repairs

Steve Robinson, an American astronaut on the Discovery orbiter that successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS), is performing operations inside the space shuttle’s cargo compartment during a spacewalk conducted on August 1. It will mark the first time an astronaut has been sent under an orbiting space shuttle to make repairs. This photo was taken from a camera attached to the helmet of Japanese Mission Specialist Soichi Noguchi, who accompanied Robinson during the orbital stroll.
