Astronaut on Spacewalk Maximum Print Size: 20" x 20" Photographer/Artist: Alan Crosthwaite Image Number: 0037-0701-2112-2144 License This Image Poster Art-Print Description: Stock photo of astronaut doing spacewalk. Mission Specialist Bruce McCandless II ventured further away from the confines and safety of his ship than any previous astronaut ever has. This space first was made possible by the Manned Manuevering Unit or MMU, a nitrogen jet propelled backpack. After a series of test maneuvers inside and above Challenger's payload bay, McCandless went "free-flying" to a distance of 320 feet away from the Orbiter. The MMU is controled by joy sticks positioned at the end of the arm rests. Moving the joy sticks left or right or by pulling them fires nitrogen jet thrusters propelling McCandless in any direction he chooses. A still camera is mounted on the upper right portion of the MMU. This stunning view shows McCandless with the MMU out there amongst the black and blue of Earth and space.Image courtesy NASA public domain gallery. associated terms: poster, posters, art print, art prints, posters and art prints, alan crosthwaite, astronaut, bruce mccandless, earth, earth and space, featured prints, global, globe, human, jetpack extravehicular, manned maneuvering unit mmu, nasa, nasa public domain gallery, nitrogen jet propelled backpack, outerspace, planet, shuttle, space, space shuttle, spacewalk, specialist bruce mccandless ii, world,
