Astronaut James H. Newman is seen at a pressurized mating adapter during early moments of the first of three scheduled spacewalks on STS-88, the first mission of the Space Shuttle to the International Space Station, December, 1998. Astronauts Newman and Jerry L. Ross, both mission specialists, went on to mate 40 cables and connectors running 76 feet from the Zarya control module to the Unity node, with the 35-ton complex towering over Endeavour's cargo bay.
