The Spacewalk

The Astronauts were in the middle of installing a new cooling unit on the American side of the station. Before the next task, Joanne took a minute to look at the Earth as it went by underneath her. It was her first spacewalk.

The Bright Reflection

After a short time, she decided to get back to work. As she did, something bright reflecting the sun caught her eye. "Conrad, do you see it?" she asked.

Communication and Observation

"Yes, I do. What do you think it is?" Conrad inquired.

"Houston, something is coming towards us aft of the station. Do you see anything on the screen?" Richard turned the cameras on it. "It is aft and a little below us," he answered.

The Discovery

"Okay, got it. Houston, we have company. My God, it's a ship! What is going on up there? Look at your monitor," she said.
