STS109-E-5411 (5 March 2002) --- Astronaut James H. Newman, mission specialist, waves to a cabin-bound crewmate while moving about in the Space Shuttle Columbia's cargo bay. The veteran of four previous NASA space walks was working in tandem with astronaut Michael J. Massimino (out of frame), mission specialist, during the STS-109 mission's second day of extravehicular activity (EVA). The space walk lasted seven hours, 16 minutes. Inside Columbia's cabin, astronaut Nancy J. Currie, mission specialist, controlled the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) to assist the two in their work on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Part of the giant telescope's base, latched down in the payload bay, can be seen behind Newman. The image was recorded with a digital still camera.
