Photo Description

APOLLO SPACE WALKER. Astronaut Russell L. Schweickart walks his way to orbiting spacecraft command module hatch about 150 miles above Earth in this realistic NASA Apollo 9 mission illustration by North American Rockwell's Space Division, principal spacecraft contractor. Two hour EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) begins early in the fourth day of the mission, about 73 hours after scheduled February 28 launch. Schweickart, with safety tether attached, emerges from lunar module hatchway and using handholds works his way to command module. Cameras mounted on the command module and lunar craft's handrail will photograph Schweickart's estimated 15 minute walk to and from the command module, using handrails along the path. Spacecraft mother ship command and service modules were produced for NASA by North American Rockwell's Space Division, Downey, California.
