STS110-E-5541 (13 April 2002) --- Astronaut Lee M.E. Morin carries an affixed 35mm camera to record work which is being performed 240 miles above Earth on the International Space Station (ISS). Astronaut Jerry L. Ross, Morin's working colleague on the space walk, is out of frame. The duo completed the structural attachment of the truss--the newest component of the orbital outpost, mating two large tripod legs of the 13 ½-ton structure to the station’s main laboratory during a 7-hour, 30-minute spacewalk. The station will ultimately span some 350 feet from end to end, slightly longer than a football field. The work of the two mission specialists complemented that of the previous day by astronauts Steven L. Smith and Rex J. Walheim.
