 American astronaut Michael Barratt (bottom) rides the end of a Russian Strela boom outside the International Space Station during a June 5, 2009 spacewalk so he can photograph the station below. Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka (top) works to extend the hand-operated boom. In this camera view, the bottom of the station is oriented at the top of the image. Credit: NASA TV.
