| | SPACE.com -- Spacewalkers Finish Odd Jobs Amid Anniversary Nod to John Glenn |
 | | Astronauts Carl Walz (in red stripes) and Dan Bursch on Feb. 20, 2002 conduct the first EVA from the Quest airlock without a shuttle docked to the space station. |
 | | During their five-hour, 47-minute excursion, Walz and Bursch also snapped pictures of small micrometeorite "hits" on station radiations and windows, and they photographed an external experiment package designed to expose paints, coatings and other materials to the harsh space environment. |
 | | Bursch, Walz and Onufrienko are in the midst of a five-and-a-half-month tour of duty aboard the international station, which is being erected in orbit by space agencies from the U.S., Russia, Europe, Canada, Japan and Brazil. |
