S114-E-5590 (29 July 2005) --- With somewhat of a tongue in cheek frame of mind, Japanese Aerospace Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi dons a hard hat aboard the International Space Station. Astronauts James M. Kelly and Wendy Lawrence, STS-114 pilot and mission specialist, respectively, check out work stations, from which they will engineer the movement of Raffaello. Raffaello is the multipurpose logistics module, currently filled with supplies, which will be moved onto the orbital outpost. Noguchi obviously has his muscles and his hardhat ready to assist in the movement of those supplies. Then, in less than 24 hours, Noguchi and astronaut Stephen K. Robinson, out of frame, will participate in the first STS-114 spacewalk.
