JSC2007-E-29521 (13 June 2007) --- In the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility at the Johnson Space Center, a stand-in astronaut uses a stapler from a medical kit to rehearse the selected technique to repair damage to the thermal blanket on the port orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pod of the Space Shuttle Atlantis.
