MS Peterson and MS Musgrave in payload bay (PLB) during EVA

STS006-10-417 (7 April 1983) --- Astronauts F. Story Musgrave, left, and Donald H. Peterson float about in the cargo bay of the Earth-orbiting space shuttle Challenger during their April 7, 1983, extravehicular activity (EVA). Their "floating about" is restricted via tethers to safety slide wires. Thanks to the tether/slide wire combination, Peterson is able to translate along the port side hand rails. Musgrave is near the Airborne Support Equipment (ASE) for the now vacated Inertial Upper Stage (IUS). Clouds can be seen in the background. Photo credit: NASA

Astronaut James H. Newman, mission specialist, uses a 35mm camera to take a picture of fellow astronaut Carl E. Walz (out of frame) in Discovery's cargo bay. The two were engaged in an extravehicular activity (EVA) to test equipment to be used on future EVA's. Newman is tethered to the starboard side, with the orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pod just behind him.

STS-57 astronauts Low and Wisoff perform DTO 1210 EVA in OV-105's payload bay

STS057-89-042 (24 June 1993) --- Baja California forms the backdrop for this extravehicular activity (EVA) scene captured on 70mm film by one of the STS-57 crew members in the Space Shuttle Endeavour's crew cabin. Working near the recently "captured" European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) at frame center are astronauts G. David Low (nearest camera) and Peter J. K. (Jeff) Wisoff. Low is attached to a mobile foot restraint to the end of the Canadian-built Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm. The SPACEHAB module is seen in the foreground and EURECA is partially visible near Endeavour's aft firewall.

STS-31 MS Sullivan exits airlock mockup during JSC WETF underwater simulation

S90-30521 (20 Feb 1990) --- Though no extravehicular activity is planned for STS-31, two crewmembers train for contingencies that would necessitate leaving their shirt sleeve environment of Discovery's cabin and performing chores with their Hubble Space Telescope payload or related hardware. Astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan, mission specialist, is seen egressing the hatchway of the airlock of a full scale mockup of a Shuttle cabin to interface with an HST mockup in JSC's 25.-ft. deep pool in the weightless environment training facility (WET-F). Two SCUBA-equipped divers who assisted in the training session are also seen. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, mission specialist, is out of frame.
