Stock Photo - A close-up view of the Kurs antenna on the Progress vehicle docked to the International Space Station's Zvezda Service Module was photographed during a session of extravehicular activity (EVA) on Feb. 22, 2007. During the 6-hour, 18-minute spacewalk, astronaut Michael E. Lopez-Alegria (out of frame), Expedition 14 commander and NASA space station science officer; and cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin (out of frame), flight engineer representing Russia's Federal Space Agency, were able to retract the stuck antenna which did not properly retract when the Progress docked to the station on Oct. 26, 2006. Moving the antenna was necessary to ensure it would not interfere with the undocking scheduled in April.
