Title: Astronaut Edward White during first EVA performed during Gemini 4 flight
Description:
Astronaut Edward H. White II, pilot for the Gemini-Titan 4 space flight,
floats in zero gravity of space. The extravehicular activity was performed
during the third revolution of the Gemini 4 spacecraft. White is attached
to the spacecraft by a 25-ft. umbilical line and a 23-ft. tether line,
both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White
carries a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU). The visor of his helmet
is gold plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun.

Title: STS-47 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, liftoff from KSC
Description:
STS-47 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, atop its external tank (ET) and
flanked by two solid rocket boosters (SRBs), is recorded in this low angle
view as it heads for its second trip into space. From this angle, the
space shuttle main engines (SSMEs) are clearly visible as well as the
diamond shock effect produced during firing. Exhaust plumes trail from
the SRB skirts. OV-105 is just about to begin its roll maneuver. Liftoff
from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) 39 pad occurred at
10:23:00:0680 am (Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)).

Atlantis Docked to Mir
Full Description
This view of the Space Shuttle Atlantis still connected to Russia's Mir Space
Station was photographed by the Mir-19 crew on July 4, 1995.
Cosmonauts Anatoliy Y. Solovyev and Nikolai M. Budarin, Mir-19 Commander and
Flight Engineer, respectively, temporarily undocked the Soyuz spacecraft from
the cluster of Mir elements to perform a brief fly-around. They took pictures
while the STS-71 crew, with Mir-18's three crew members aboard, undocked
Atlantis for the completion of this leg of the joint activities. Solovyev and
Budarin had been taxied to the Mir Space Station by the STS-71 ascent trip of
Atlantis.

STS089-E-5190 This Electronic Still Camera
(ESC) image shows the Russian Mir Space
Station's damaged solar array panel. The solar
array panel was damaged as a result of an impact with an unmanned
Progress re-supply ship which collided with the Mir on June 25, 1997,
causing the Spektr Module to depressurize. This ESC view was taken
on January 25, 1998 at 16:56:30 GMT.

S97-E-5088 (9 December 2000) --- This
is one of a series of digital still camera views
showing the International Space Station
(ISS) during a fly-around by the Space
Shuttle Endeavour. The 240-foot-long,
38-foot-wide solar array (top) is the newest
part and one of the most prominent
components of the station. Onboard ISS
for about 40 days at the time of this photo
were astronaut William M. Shepherd and
cosmonauts Yuri P. Gidzenko and Sergei
K. Krikalev. Onboard the shuttle were
STS-97 astronauts -- commander Brent
W. Jett, Jr., pilot Mike Bloomfield and
mission specialists Marc Garneau of the
Canadian Space Agency (CSA), Carlos I.
Noriega and Joseph R. Tanner.
