Stock Photo - In the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility at the Johnson Space Center, an engineer reveals the results of a dry run of a task to repair damage to the thermal blanket on the port orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pod of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Special staples inserted by a stapler from a medical kit represent the chosen means to fix the damage, which was discovered on launch day. Astronaut John (Danny) Olivas, STS-117 mission specialist, has been assigned the task of replicating this procedure on a scheduled June 15 spacewalk.
