11 overwhelming photos of NASA astronauts

See beautiful photos that the main character is none other than NASA astronauts.

Step in space with me.

Not for the coward, spacewalking is the act of carrying out activities outside the spacecraft's safe range. Its exact name is "extravehicular activity" , abbreviated as EVA .

The image above shows astronaut Robert L. Stewart on the STS-41-B mission flying a few meters away from the Challenger Space Shuttle on 12/2/2984, using a jetpack (jet aircraft) ) specially designed for EVA.

From the Gemini 4 mission in 1965, NASA astronauts performed spacewalks on the moon, as well as outside the spacecraft at the ISS international space station, and they captured many overwhelming photos in the that process.

Buzz Aldrin.

The image of Buzz Aldrin on the Moon's surface is one of the most iconic images in the Apollo 11 image gallery, and also in NASA history. Aldrin walked on the Moon on July 20, 1969 with his colleague Neil Armstrong. In the image above, the footprints flood on the Moon's gravel surface on the left, and in the lower right quadrant you can see the feet of the Moon Eagle module.

Of course, the reflection in Aldrin's hat was none other than Neil Armstrong.

Buzz Aldrin carries items on the Moon.

Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the Moon, continues to appear in a photo taken by Neil Armstrong, with the background of the black universe.

Happily, Aldrin's gesture in the picture is just like he was waiting for the Uber car to come and pick me up, but his luggage here is actually two experimental kits: a test kit Passive seismic test (left hand) and Laser Ranging Retroflector (right hand). The photo was taken on July 20, 1969.

Americans first made spacewalk.

In 1965, Edward H. White II became the first American to float freely in space.

Connected to the Gemini spacecraft with a 7.62 meter long belt and another 7-meter-long gold tape, wearing a gold-plated helmet to protect the sun's rays and images of astronauts This family perfectly represents the idea that you will always "fall" in space.

The spacewalk made history of Kathryn D. Sullivan.

A historic NASA moment took place in the 41-G STS mission, when Kathryn D. Sullivan became the first American woman to perform spacewalk. In the image above, taken on October 11, 1984, Sullivan is checking the hasp of the Shuttle Imaging Radar-B antenna on the Challenger, which was used to photograph the Earth.

Some problems with antennas have seriously affected the data collection in the 41-G STS mission, leading to astronauts collecting only 20% of scientific data compared to plan out.

Bruce McCandless flies solo.

Bruce McCandless hovered above the Earth, with the background behind the empty space of the universe, the first unconnected spacewalk in history. He reached a maximum distance of 97.5 meters from the Orbiter, using a manual controller (MMU) that propelled the nitrogen gas.

MMU was retired in 1984, following a safety standard assessment following the Challenger disaster.

McCandless was part of the STS 41-B mission, flying on the Challenger spacecraft in February 1984.

Scary unconnected drop by Mark Lee.

At 241km above the clouds on Earth, Mark C. Lee drifted freely in space. Behind him is the Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER) relief kit, a jetpack that spacewalkers (spacewalk performers) wear in an emergency. If an astronaut suddenly gets out of the space station or the orbiter, the SAFER system will allow them to rescue themselves. SAFER is a simplified version of MMU that Bruce MacCandless used in 1984.

Of course, no one astronaut has to use the SAFER system. The image was taken while Lee tested the kit on September 16, 1994.

Building an international space station ISS takes time.

In 2007, Michael E. Lopez-Alegria, spacewalked up to 6 hours and 40 minutes to support the construction of the ISS space station. He was the Expedition 14 commander, staying in space for up to 215 days and reached the record for the longest flight of the time. He currently holds the NASA record of total spacewalk time at 67:40 hours.

During this expedition, another crew member - Mikhail Tyurin of Russia - hit a golf ball from outside the airlock.

Where do you work todaySpace but not!

Although he is laughing, but if you have a weak heart, you will find that the astronaut Ricky Arnold is about to fall freely from the ISS space station during a spacewalk in June 2018.

During this spacewalk, Arnold and Commander Drew Feustel installed several new cameras on the ISS to get a better view when commercial spacecraft like SpaceX Crew Dragon and Boeing Starliner began to be launched.

Feustel commander plays at ISS.

Taken in Feustel's seventh spacewalk in March 2018, in the picture we can see that he is installing Tranquility wireless telecom antennas, with the function of making oxygen for the crew. and recycling waste water. It also contains one of the toilets of the ISS space station.

Take a selfie at a new level.

In space, no one knows you are selfie.

Ricky Arnold takes a reflection in his hat at ISS, with the background of Earth, on May 16, 2018.

Both Instagram will go crazy for this photo, if he posts it with the #space hashtag #picoftheday.
