| STS-114 Shuttle Mission Imagery | |
 high res (1.2 M) low res (87 K) | JSC2003-E-52340 (8 August 2003) --- Onboard a KC-135 aircraft, astronaut Rex J. Walheim uses a tool similar to a putty knife to remove excess material from a membrane-covered cavity on a damaged section of thermal tiles. The aircraft flew a series of special parabolas to afford a number of zero-g “windows” for rehearsing extravehicular activity (EVA) tasks for repairing damaged Shuttle tiles. |
