iss073e0510684 (Aug. 18, 2025) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 73 Flight Engineer Mike Fincke gives a “thumbs up” while holding a High Definition Extravehicular Mobility Unit Camera, or HECA. The spacesuit helmet-mounted camera streams real-time, high-definition video of spacewalk activities to mission controllers on the ground. Earlier, Fincke replaced the thermal tape that shields the HECA from the harsh environment of space.
