EVA during STS-117 / Expedition 15 Joint Operations

S117-E-08998 (15 June 2007) --- Medium wide scene of Atlantis' port side orbital maneuvering system pod and part of its wing prior to thermal tile protection system repair work performed by astronaut John (Danny) Olivas, STS-117 mission specialist. Olivas is seen here hovering with his feet anchored to the mobile foot restraint on the end of the Canadian-built remote manipulator system (RMS). Olivas went on to spend two hours stapling and pinning down this piece of thermal blanket on the port side OMS pod. The 4-by-6-inch corner of the blanket, which is visible here as a fist-sized black interruption to the pod's whiteness, peeled up during the shuttle's launch last week.
