EVA Prep OPS - MS Lopez-Alegria donned in EMU for first EVA during STS-113

STS113-E-05159 (26 November 2002) --- Astronaut Michael E. Lopez-Alegria completes final touches on his extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) space suit aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Moments later, astronauts Lopez-Alegria and John B. Herrington went on to begin the first of three spacewalks to perform work on the station. With the assistance of the rest of the shuttle and station crewmembers who worked inside the shirt sleeve environments of the two docked spacecraft, the two mission specialists completed the six hour, 45-minute spacewalk and successfully hooked up connections between the Port One (P1) truss and the rest of the station.
