WELTRAUM RAUMFAHRT SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR
Astronaut Leroy Chiao spacewalks in the opened cargo bay of the Shuttle Endeavor as it passes over Shark Bay, Australia, on January 17th, 1996. This Extra-vehicular activity, (EVA), formed part of Mission STS-72, (1/11/96-1/20/96), and was used to evaluate space station assembly techniques. At the back of the cargo bay are two gold-colored satellites. This nearer, square satellite is the American Office of Aeronautics and Space (OAST) Flyer. The round satellite is the Japanese Space Flyer Unit, (SFU-1). The OAST flyer was released by the shuttle on January 15th 1996 and recovered two days later. SFU-1 was recovered from an earlier orbit.
