An astronaut in a white spacesuit works on a fixture while outside of the International Space Station. He holds a large white circular object in his left hand. Earth can be seen behind him: the planet's blue water and white clouds take up most of the background, but a sliver of black space can be seen at top right.

NASA astronaut Franklin Chang-Diaz works with a grapple fixture during a June 2002 spacewalk outside of the International Space Station. He was partnered with CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales)  astronaut Philippe Perrin for the spacewalk – one of three that occurred during the STS-111 mission. Chang-Diaz was part of NASA’s ninth class of astronaut candidates. He became the first Hispanic American to fly in space.
