PIX4649978: Extra Release - Vehicle B.Mac Candless STS - 41 - B - 02/1984 - B.Mac Candless space walk. 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, uses his hands to control his movement in space while using the nitrogen propelled manned maneuvering unit (MMU). He is participating in a extravehicular activity (EVA), a few meters away from the cabin of the shuttle Challenger. He is floating without tethers attaching him to the shuttle.

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
PIX4650088: Shuttle Explosion Challenger STS - 51L 28/01/1986 - Space Shuttle Challenger accident Jan 28 1986 - The bright luminous glow at the top is attributed to the rupture of the liquid oxygen tank just above the SRB/ET attachment. At this point, Challenger is completely engulfed in a firey flow of escaping liquid propellant. Jan 28 1986 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4645327: Hubble space telescope: 4th maintenance mission 05/2009 - Hubble space telescope: fourth repair mission 05/2009 - Astronaut Andrew Feustel transports the new WFC3 (Wide Field Camera 3) camera during his first extravehicular exit to install it aboard the Hubble space telescope (HST). 14 May 2009. But for the absence of gravity, astronaut Andrew Feustel, perched on the end of the remote manipulator system arm, would be a bit top heavy as he helps to install the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) during a May 14 spacewalk to perform work on the Hubble Space Telescope. Out of frame is veteran astronaut John Grunsfeld, his spacewalking crewmate. The pair kicked off five back to back days of extravehicular activity for the STS - 125 crew. Feustel and Grunsfeld will participate in two of the remaining four spacewalks. 14 May 2009 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4645465: Hubble space telescope: end of the 4th maintenance mission 05/2009 - Hubble space telescope: end of the fourth repair mission - The Hubble space telescope (HST) seen from space shuttle Atlantis after their separation on 19 May 2009. An STS - 125 crew member aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis captured this still image of the Hubble Space Telescope as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation on May 19, after having been linked together for the better part of a week. During the week five spacewalks were performed to complete the final servicing. 19 May 2009 / Bridgeman Images

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
