Cosmonaut in space - Cosmonaut extravehicular activity - Exit of cosmonaut Oleg Kotov into space. Maintenance of the International Space Station (ISS). 14 January 2010. English cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Maxim Suraev (out of frame), both Expedition 22 flight engineers, participate in a session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as maintenance and construction continue on the International Space Station. During the spacewalk, Kotov and Suraev prepared the Mini - Research Module 2 (MRM2), known as Poisk, for future Russian vehicle dockings. Suraev and NASA astronaut Jeffrey Williams, commander, will be the first to use the new docking port when they relocate their Soyuz TMA - 16 spacecraft from the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module on Jan. 21. Earth's horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene. January 14, 2010

The International Space Station (ISS) 03/2008 - The International Space Station 03/2008 - View of the International Space Station after the start of the shuttle Endeavour on March 24, 2008. Backdropped by Earth's horizon and the blackness of space, the International Space Station appears small from the point of view of the Space Shuttle Endeavour as the two spacecraft carry out their relative separation. Endeavour's vertical stabilizer is seen in this image photographed by a STS - 123 crewmember onboard the shuttle. Earlier the STS - 123 and Expedition 16 crews concluded 12 days of cooperative work onboard the shuttle and station. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 7:25 p.m. (CDT) on March 24, 2008

The International Space Station (ISS) is backdropped against the blackness of space in this medium - distance, 70 mm frame, as photographed from the departing Space Shuttle Atlantis. The newly installed Destiny laboratory is in the left foreground. The crews of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station parted company at 8:06 a.m. (CST), February 16, as astronaut Mark L. Polansky, pilot, flew the shuttle halfway around the station and its new Destiny laboratory before moving off. Feb 16 2001

Extravehicular and International Space Station - Extravehicular activity and International Space Station: Extravehicular exit for astronauts Rick Mastracchio (right) and Clay Anderson on August 15, 2007. International Space Station (ISS) construction and maintenance mission. Astronauts Clay Anderson (left), Expedition 15 flight engineer; and Rick Mastracchio, STS-118 mission specialist, participate in the mission's third planned session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction and maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the 5-hour, 28-minute spacewalk, Mastracchio and Anderson relocated the S-Band Antenna Sub-Assembly from Port 6 (P6) to Port 1 (P1) truss, installed a new transponder on P1 and retrieved the P6 transponder. The blackness of space and Earth's horizon provide the backdrop for the scene. August 15, 2007.

H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) - The H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) is an uninhabited spacecraft of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is used to supply the International Space Station (ISS). Image obtained from the International Space Station on September 17, 2009. Backdropped by a blue and white part of Earth and the blackness of space, the unpiloted English H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) approaches the International Space Station. Once the HTV was in range, NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk and European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, all Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the station's robotic arm to grab the cargo craft and attach it to the Earth - facing port of the Harmony node. The attachment was completed at 5:26 (CDT) on Sep 17, 2009. A Russian spacecraft docked to the station is at bottom right

ATV Jules Verne - The Jules Verne ATV - View of the first European automatic cargo ship ATV christens Jules Verne, leaving the international space station on 5 September 2008. Designed to supply the station with various equipment, the ATV, with several tons of fuel on board, is used to bring the station back into its orbit. Jules Verne moored at the station on April 3, 2008. 5 Sept. 2008 - Backdropped by the blackness of space, European Space Agency's (ESA) “” Jules Verne”” Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) begins its relative separation from the International Space Station. The ATV undocked from the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module at 4:29 p.m. (CDT) on Sept. 5, 2008 and was placed in a parking orbit for three weeks, scheduled to be deorbited on Sept. 29 when lighting conditions are correct for an ESA imagery experiment of reentry

Clayton Anderson Extravehicular Release 07/2007 - Clay Anderson extravehicular activity 07/2007: Clayton (Clay) Anderson Extravehicular Release. ISS - Expedition 15. 23/07/2007 23 July 2007. Anchored to the Canadarm2 foot restraint, astronaut Clay Anderson, Expedition 15 flight engineer, removes the Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS) from its place on the International Space Station during a session of extravehicular activity (EVA). Anderson later jettisoned the EAS by shoving it opposite of the station's direction of travel. The EAS was installed on the P6 truss during STS-105 in August 2001, as an ammonia reservoir if a leak had occurred. It was never used, and was no longer needed after the permanent cooling system was activated last December. The blackness of space and Earth's horizon provide the backdrop for the scene.

Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has imaged an area so jam - packed with stars that they almost overwhelm the inky blackness of space. This includes the globular star cluster Djorgovski 1, which was only discovered in 1987 Djorgovski 1 is located close to the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy, within the bulge. If the galaxy is thought of as being like a city, then this bulge is the very busiest district at its centre. Djorgovski 1's proximity to this hub - - within just a few degrees - - explains why the picture is teeming with stars.
