Explanation:
Did you ever have a day where everything got turned
around and you just couldn't tell which way was up?
Fortunately, this didn't happen to astronaut
James S. Voss on 2000 May 21,
who spent six hours preparing to fix and upgrade the
International Space Station.
Voss is
shown
above
anchored in the clutches of
Space Shuttle Atlantis'
mechanical arm, maneuvering outside the
shuttle's cargo bay high above
planet Earth.
This
space walk was the 85th in US history
and the fifth dedicated to the construction of the International Space Station.
The
STS-101 mission returned after successfully replacing the station's
batteries, lifting the station into a higher orbit,
and replenishing needed supplies.
