JSC2010-E-090735 (10 June 2010) --- Robonaut 2, a dexterous, humanoid astronaut helper, will fly to the International Space Station aboard space shuttle Discovery on the STS-133 mission. Although it will initially only participate in operational tests, upgrades could eventually allow the robot to realize its true purpose helping spacewalking astronauts with tasks outside the space station.

S129-E-006765 (19 Nov. 2009) --- Anchored to a Canadarm2 mobile foot restraint, astronaut Robert L. Satcher Jr., STS-129 mission specialist, participates in the mission's first session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction and maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the six-hour, 37-minute spacewalk, Satcher and astronaut Mike Foreman (out of frame), mission specialist, installed a spare S-band antenna structural assembly to the Z1 segment of the stations truss, or backbone. Foreman and Satcher also installed a set of cables for a future space-to-ground antenna on the Destiny laboratory and replaced a handrail on the Unity node with a new bracket used to route an ammonia cable that will be needed for the Tranquility node when it is delivered next year. The two spacewalkers also repositioned a cable connector on Unity, checked S0 truss cable connections, and lubricated latching snares on the Kibo robotic arm and the stations mobile base system.

Once the United States' space program had progressed from Earth's orbit into outerspace, the prospect of building and maintaining a permanent presence in space was realized. To accomplish this feat, NASA launched a temporary workstation, Skylab, to discover the effects of low gravity and weightlessness on the human body, and also to develop tools and equipment that would be needed in the future to build and maintain a more permanent space station. The structures, techniques, and work schedules had to be carefully designed to fit this unique construction site. The components had to be lightweight for transport into orbit, yet durable. The station also had to be made with removable parts for easy servicing and repairs by astronauts. All of the tools necessary for service and repairs had to be designed for easy manipulation by a suited astronaut. Construction methods had to be efficient due to the limited time the astronauts could remain outside their controlled environment. In lieu of al

JSC2005-E-11678 (December 2003) --- This is Robonaut B, the newer of two NASA robots used in recent hand-in-hand testing at the Johnson Space Center with human beings to evaluate their shared ability to perform certain types of extravehicular activity. In late 2003 Robonaut Unit B was retrofitted with a mobile platform. This new base, called the Robonaut Mobility Platform (RMP), adds an entirely new capability to the functionality of Unit B.

STS057-89-067 (25 June 1993) --- Backdropped against the blackness of space, astronaut Peter J. K. (Jeff) Wisoff, stands on a mobile foot restraint on the end of the Space Shuttle Endeavour's Remote Manipulator System (RMS). Astronauts Wisoff and G. David Low participated in a lengthy session of extravehicular activity (EVA) on the mission's fifth day in Earth-orbit. This view was recorded on 70mm film with a handheld Hasselblad camera inside the Space Shuttle Endeavour's crew cabin.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Apollo 7 astronauts Donn F. Eisele, foreground, and Walter Cunningham, rear, undergo spacesuit checks today prior to their Earth orbital mission with Walter M. Schirra Jr., not shown. The three space pilots lifted off atop a Saturn 1B space vehicle from Cape Kennedy's Launch Complex 34 at 11 03 a.m. EDT, Oct. 11, 1968. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's first manned Apollo flight is designed to verify spacecraft systems for future lunar voyages.

Apollo 8 Astronaut and commander Frank Borman leads the way as he and James Lovell, Command Module (CM) pilot; and William Anders, Lunar Module (LM) Pilot head out to the launch pad for the historical first manned Apollo mission to travel to the lunar vicinity, and first manned mission launched via the Saturn V vehicle. Liftoff occurred on December 21, 1968 and returned safely to Earth on December 27, 1968. The mission achieved operational experience and tested the Apollo command module systems, including communications, tracking, and life-support, in cis-lunar space and lunar orbit, and allowed evaluation of crew performance on a lunar orbiting mission. The crew photographed the lunar surface, both far side and near side, obtaining information on topography and landmarks as well as other scientific information necessary for future Apollo landings. All systems operated within allowable parameters and all objectives of the mission were achieved.

The NASA SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts emerge from the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Nov. 15, 2020. In front, from left are NASA astronaut Victor Glover, pilot; and NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins, spacecraft commander. Behind them, from left are NASA astronaut Shannon Walker, mission specialist, and JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, mission specialist. They will board two Tesla vehicles for the trip to Launch Complex 39A. Crew-1 is the first regular crew mission of a U.S. commercial spacecraft with astronauts to the International Space Station as part of NASAs Commercial Crew Program. The SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience capsule will launch atop the companys Falcon 9 rocket from Pad 39A to the space station for a six-month science mission.
