Nasa. Mission STS-96, the second assembly and resupply flight of the International Space Station (ISS), was launched on May 27, 1999 aboard the Orbiter Discovery for a mission lasting almost 10 days. In this STS-96 onboard photo, Mission Specialist Tamara Jernigan carries part of the Russian construction crane. Jernigan's feet are anchored to a mobile restraint connected to the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (RMS). The astronauts have now become veritable space mechanics, performing all manner of construction activities in the vacuum of space, giving rise to some impressive futuristic yet contemporary scenes. 1999.
