Holding onto the end effector of the Canadarm on the Space Shuttle Atlantis, astronaut Michael L. Gernhardt, STS-104 mission specialist, participates in one of three space walks during the mission of July 2001. The extravehicular activity was designed to help wrap up the completion of work on the second phase of the International Space Station. Gernhardt was joined on the EVA by astronaut James F. Reilly.
