Thumbnail 100 x 100 (72)Astronaut Carl E. Walz holds a plant in the Zvezda Service Module - the part of the International Space Station where the crew eats and sleeps. Several types of plants - including wheat and soybeans - are being grown on the Space Station. Walz returned home on Space Shuttle Endeavour on June 18. Walz and fellow Station astronaut Daniel Bursch broke the U.S. record for the longest space flight at the 188-day mark. They spent more than 195 days in space. Walz also holds the record for most cumulative time in space. During their stay on the Station, both crewmembers worked with the team in NASA's Payload Operations Center - the command post for Station science activities - located at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville Ala.

Thumbnail 100 x 100 (72)Astronaut Daniel Bursch works inside the Destiny laboratory to complete science experiments on the International Space Station. During Space Station Expedition Four - the research mission that started in December 2001 and concluded in June 2002 -- Bursch and fellow crewmembers Carl Walz and Yury Onufrienko spent more than 300 hours on U.S. research, conducting the most complex and diverse research program of any expedition to date. To carry out experiment procedures, crewmembers worked with the team in NASA's Payload Operations Center - the command post for Station science activities - located at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville Ala.

Thumbnail 100 x 100 (72)Cosmonaut Yuri Gidzenko of Russia works inside the Zvezda Service Module - the crew living quarters on the International Space Station. Gidzenko visited the Station in May 2002 when the Soyuz Taxi brought up supplies to the orbiting outpost. It was Gidzenko's third flight in space and he was the first former resident of the Space Station to return to the complex. He was one of the Station's first residents as part of the three-member Expedition One crew in the fall of 2000. (NASA)

Thumbnail 100 x 100 (72)Astronaut Peggy Whitson floats near the Microgravity Science Glovebox following its installation in the International Space Station's Destiny laboratory on research mission Expedition Five. Expedition Five - the new four month research mission on the Station -- got under way in June 2002. The Glovebox is a sealed container with built-in gloves that make it possible for crews to safely do more hands-on science experiments involving fluids, flames, particles and fumes. The glovebox was built by the European Space Agency in collaboration with the Microgravity Sciences and Applications Department at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Whitson is the first Station astronaut also to be the lead scientist for a Station experiment. Her life sciences experiment studies how living in space affects kidney stone formation. (NASA)

Thumbnail 100 x 100 (72)Crewmembers snapped this photograph of the International Space Station with a digital still camera aimed through the Space Shuttle Endeavour's window when the Shuttle visited the Station in December 2001. Contrasted against a patch of blue and white Earth, the Destiny laboratory is partially covered with shadows in the foreground. Science activities inside the laboratory are planned and executed from NASA's Payload Operations Center at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. (NASA)

Thumbnail 100 x 100 (72)Back-dropped by a blue and white Earth, the International Space Station was photographed by a crew member from the Space Shuttle as it left the Station in December 2001. During that visit the Shuttle dropped off a new Station crew as well as many new science experiments. NASA's Payload Operations Center -- the command post for Station science activities - is located at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville Ala. (NASA)

Thumbnail 100 x 100 (72)Shining against the blackness of space, the International Space Station orbits Earth at more than 17,000 mph. An astronaut took this photo when Space Shuttle Endeavor visited the orbital outpost in December 2001. Endeavour returned in June 2002 to pick up the crew it dropped off in December and deliver a new three-member crew and several new science experiments and facilities. The science command post for the International Space Station is the Payload Operations Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. (NASA)

Thumbnail 100 x 100 (72)The International Space Station has a great view of our home: Earth. The Station crosses the same area of the planet every three days and covers more than 90 percent of the populated Earth. Astronauts have photographed fires, volcanoes and hurricanes. In the last four decades of human space flight, astronauts have made nearly 400,000 images of Earth that help scientists track natural and human-made trends. Space Station crew members recently photographed wildfires raging in the hills north and northwest of Los Angeles in June 2002. A series of fire images can be viewed and download at: /centers/msfc/NEWSROOM/news/photos/2002/photosiss-fires.html. (NASA)
