Well ISS Resident crew 9 performed their 3rd EVA on 3rd August 2004: Expedition 9 Commander Gennady Padalka and NASA Science Officer Mike Fincke spent 4 1/2 hours outside the Station swapping out experiments and installing hardware associated with Europe's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), scheduled to launch on its maiden voyage to ISS next year. This was the 55th spacewalk in support of Station assembly and maintenance, the 30th staged from the Station itself, the fifth for Padalka and Fincke's third. The other EVAs by Exp 9 were on 25th June ( 14 minutes 22 ) and on 30th June ( 5 Hrs 40 minutes )

Maybe they don't take photos because they are too busy? (Though there were plenty of spacewalk photos on Mir.) I know they take cameras out to photograph the surfaces of the modules, and experiments. |

There are photographs from all four spacewalks - but to see them we will need to wait for the crew to return to Earth. All the photographs posted in-flight were taken with a digital camera inside the station. As there wasn't a third crewmember inside to photograph Fincke and Padalka during their spacewalk, the photos taken by the two spacewalkers were captured using the EVA cams - all of which are film-based.A radiation-hardened digital camera for use during EVAs is under development as part of the tile inspection plans at NASA, but won't be available until after the shuttle returns to service. |
