NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Iconic photograph of the first untethered human spacewalk. American astronaut Bruce McCandless, II during Extravehicular Activity (EVA) is captured from inside the aft flight deck of the space shuttle CHALLENGER (Mission STS-41B). The astronaut uses his hands to control his movement in space while operating the nitrogen-powered maneuvering unit (MMU). McCandless floats without being attached to the space shuttle. McCandless retreats toward the shuttle and is here, so close that the shuttle's reflection is seen in McCandless's helmet. February 7, 1984. Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering in the margin on the front. Legend on label on back. 40.6 x 40.6CM with margins.
