About this work

S117-E-08982 (15 June 2007) --- Medium close-up scene of Atlantis' port side orbital maneuvering system pod prior to repair work performed by astronaut John (Danny) Olivas, STS-117 mission specialist (out of frame). Olivas later spent two hours stapling and pinning down this piece of thermal blanket on the pod. The 4-by-6-inch corner of the blanket peeled up during the shuttle's launch last week.
