ISS015-E-12253 (15 June 2007) --- The helmet visor of astronaut John "Danny" Olivas, STS-117 mission specialist, serves as an easel of sorts as it reflects a pictorial account of a portion of a very busy session of extravehicular activity (EVA) on June 15. Olivas, who took the photo, spent two hours of an overall 7 hour, 58 minute spacewalk stapling and pinning down a piece of thermal blanket on one of Atlantis' orbital maneuvering system pods (reflected in his visor). The 4-by-6-inch corner of the blanket peeled up during the shuttle's launch last week.

ISS015-E-12134 (15 June 2007) --- Medium close-up scene of Atlantis' port side orbital maneuvering system pod prior to repair work performed by astronaut John (Danny) Olivas, STS-117 mission specialist (out of frame). Olivas later spent two hours stapling and pinning down this piece of thermal blanket on one of Atlantis' orbital maneuvering system pods. The 4-by-6-inch corner of the blanket peeled up during the shuttle's launch last week.

ISS015-E-12180 (15 June 2007) --- Close-up scene following completed repair work by astronaut John (Danny) Olivas (out of frame), STS-117 mission specialist, who spent two hours stapling and pinning down a thermal blanket on one of Atlantis' orbital maneuvering system pods. A 4-by-6-inch corner of the blanket peeled up during the shuttle's launch last week. The circular metal objects are the finger holds for pins that were inserted into the blanket and anchored into the TPS tiles. Staples, inserted into the material (not visible here) by a medical stapler, represented the primary fix to the damaged area, first noticed by the crew on launch day.

A 4-by-6-inch corner of the blanket peeled up during the shuttle's launch last week. Staples, inserted by Olivas' application with a medical stapler, are visible near bottom of the frame. Metal reinforcement pins can be seen above the staples.
