PIX4649838: Atlantis seen from the space station 07/2011 - Atlantis seen from the International Space station 07/2011 - The Atlantis space shuttle seen above the Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) on 19 July 2011. Mission STS-135, the last United States space shuttle mission. This picture of the space shuttle Atlantis was photographed from the International Space Station as the orbiting complex and the shuttle performed their relative separation in the early hours of July 19, 2011. The Raffaello multi - purpose logistics module, which transported tons of supplies to the complex, can be seen in the cargo bay. It is filled with different materials from the station for return to Earth. Onboard the station were Russian cosmonauts Andrey Borisenko, commander; Sergei Volkov and Alexander Samokutyaev, both flight engineers; Japan Aerospace Exploration astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and NASA astronauts Mike Fossum and Ron Garan, all flight engineers. Onboard the shuttle were NASA astronauts Chris Ferguson, commander; Doug Hurley, pilot; and Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, both mission specialists / Bridgeman Images
PIX4649843: Astronaut Exit into Space - Spacewalk: Extrahicular release of Mike Fossum for an International Space Station (ISS) maintenance operation. 12/07/2011. With his feet secured on a restraint on the space station remote manipulator system's robotic arm or Canadarm2, NASA astronaut Mike Fossum (lower right side of frame) holds the Robotics Refueling Mission payload, which was the focus of one of the primary chores accomplished on a six and a half hour spacewalk on July 12. Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator or SPDM, is holding the CTC-2, delivered by HTV-2, in the upper left corner of the photo.

PIX4650052: Shuttle Challenger and Himalayas 10/1984 - Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau with shuttle Challenger - Part of the Himalayas and Tibet Plateau seen by Shuttle Challenger in October 1984. The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau (also known as the Qinghai - Xizang Plateau) shown in this photograph were formed and continue to be modified by the convergent collision of two of the world's great continental tectonic plates, the Eurasian and the Indian - Australian. Towards the horizon, hazy and dusty conditions seem to exist on the Indo - Gangetic Plain of northern India (southwest) and the Takla Makan Desert of western China (northwest) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4650176: Houston Training Pool - NBL facilities (Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory) - The Houston Pool (Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory) is used for astronaut training. Measuring 60 metres long, 30 metres wide and 12 metres deep, this basin hosts models of the International Space Station modules allowing astronauts to train in a state close to weightlessness on their future outings into space. The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory pool at Nasa's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where astronauts, wearing a 65 - kg Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit, practice spacewalking and working outside the International Space Station during underwater simulated extravehicular activities (EVAs). This facility consists in a 60 - m - long, 30 - m - wide and 12 - m - deep water reservoir, with a capacity of 23,500 cubic meters. Two overhead bridge cranes are used to display mock space station modules for training. The spacesuit buoyancy provides a simulated weightlessness for astronaut trainees. Most ESA astronauts have been practicing EVAs at the NBL as part of their NASA Mission Specialist training / Bridgeman Images
