Everyone catch today’s #spacewalk outside of the International Space Station? Head to NASA.gov for more on that. Here is a look at another one, from the early days, showing NASA astronaut Ronald E. Evans as he moves outside of the Apollo 17 spacecraft during its trans-Earth coast. During his extravehicular activity (EVA), Evans, command module pilot, retrieved film cassettes from the lunar sounder, mapping camera and panoramic camera. The cylindrical object at Evans' left side is the mapping camera cassette. The total time for the trans-Earth EVA was one hour, seven minutes, 18 seconds, starting at ground elapsed time of 257:25 (2:28 p.m.) and ending at G.E.T. of 258:42 (3:35 p.m.) on Sunday, Dec. 17, 1972.
