PIX4650506: LHC: work on the ATLAS detector - LHC: Work on the ATLAS semiconductor tracker barrel - Work performed on the ATLAS semiconductor trajectory (SCT) - one of the main elements of the ATLAS internal detector Precision work is performed on the semiconductor tracker barrel of the ATLAS experiment. All work on these delicate components must be performed in a clean room so that impurities in the air, such as dust, do not contaminate the detector. The semiconductor tracker will be mounted in the barrel close to the heart of the ATLAS experiment to detect the path of particles produced in proton-proton collisions / 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. NASA astronauts Fossum and Ron Garan performed the six-hour, 31-minute spacewalk, which represents the final scheduled extravehicular activity during shuttle missions. 12 July 2011. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4649873: B.Mac Candless Extra Vehicle Release STS - 41 - B - 02/1984 - Astronaut Bruce McCandless II EVA 02/1984 - Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, works in the cargo bay of the Shuttle Challenger. 11/02/1984. Astronaut Bruce McCandless, II, is using a special tool to conduct an experiment. His feet are anchored in the mobile foot restraints, which are connected to the remote manipulator system (RMS). The Shuttle pallet satellite (SPAS-01A) serves as a test subject for McCandless's experiment. Feb 11 1984 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4649962: B.Mac Candless Extra Vehicle Release STS - 41 - B - 02/1984 - B.McCandless II spacewalk 02/1984 - Astronaut Bruce McCandless II uses his hands to control his movements in space while using the MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit), a standalone space chair allowing him to move away from the Challenger Space Shuttle by several meters without being connected. 11/02/1984. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, mission specialist, participates in a extravehicular activity (EVA), a few meters away from the cabin of the shuttle Challenger. He is using a nitrogen - propelled hand - controlled manned maneuvering unit (MMU). He is performing this EVA without being tethered to the shuttle. Feb 11 1984 / Bridgeman Images

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
