Description: The Shuttle Discovery and the STS-96 crew made history in May 1999 when they became the first crew and orbiter to visit the International Space Station. Here, the Aegean Sea is the back drop for mission specialist Tamara E. Jernigan as she handles the American-built crane, which she later helped to install on the Station during a May 30 spacewalk. Jernigan's feet are anchored to a mobile foot restraint connected to Discovery's Canadian-built robot arm. Astronaut Tamara E. Jernigan, mission specialist, is backdropped over the Aegian Sea as she handles the American-built crane which she later helped to install on the International Space Station (ISS) during the May 30 space walk. Jernigan's feet are anchored to a mobile foot restraint connected to the Discovery's Canadian-built remote manipulator system (RMS). Jernigan was joined by astronaut Daniel T. Barry for the lengthy extravehicular activity (EVA). Parts of Greece, Turkey and the Dardenelles are visible some 171 nautical miles below the docked tandem of Discovery and the ISS.
