Astronaut Clayton Anderson
watches as a water bubble floats
in the middeck of space shuttle Discovery during the STS-131
mission.
Note that his image in the bubble is upside down because the
bubble refracted the light.

Mastracchio on Spacewalk
NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio conducts the third spacewalk
of STS-132.
During the six-hour, 24-minute spacewalk,
Mastracchio and Clayton Anderson hooked up fluid lines of the
new 1,700-pound tank,
retrieved some micrometeoroid shields from the Quest airlock's
exterior,
relocated a portable foot restraint
and prepared cables on the Zenith 1 truss for a spare Space to
Ground Ku-Band antenna,
two chores required before space shuttle Atlantis'
STS-132/ULF-4
shuttle Atlantis' STS-132/ULF-4 mission in May.

STS088-703-019 (4-15 DECEMBER 1998) ---
The
U.S.-built Unity connecting module (bottom)
and the Russian-built Zarya module
are backdropped against the blackness of space
in this 70mm photograph taken
from the Space Shuttle Endeavour.
After devoting the major portion of its mission time to various tasks
to ready
the two docked modules for their International Space Station (ISS) roles,
the
six-member STS-88 crew released the tandem and performed a fly-around survey of
the hardware.

Life aboard the International Space Station
It's 10 years since the first crew entered
the International Space Station
220 miles above the Earth.
But what is it like aboard a big tin can travelling at 17,500mph?
