NASA (Gemini XII)
Buzz Aldrin in outer space over the Earth during his stand up EVA in the open hatch of spacecraft, 11-15 November 1966
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1966, numbered "NASA S-66-63538" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
A great view of the fifth American spacewalker over the Earth captured by the Maurer 16mm movie camera which Aldrin had first installed on outside of the spacecraft to record his activities. He is floating in zero g in the open hatch with the US flag decal visible on his left shoulder. The Gemini spacecraft is docked with the Agena Target Docking Vehicle whose antenna is visible in the background.
The EVA lasted 2 hours 29 minutes during which Aldrin mounted a camera to the side of the spacecraft and collected a micrometeorite experiment. (https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=1966-104A).
From the mission transcript during the stand up EVA:
019:34:04 Aldrin: I imagine there’s a little bit of tension on my hoses now, but otherwise I’m floating now, completely free. My feet are just above the seat.
019:34:25 Lovell: Okay.
019:34:28 Aldrin: What a beautiful view. [...]
019:35:08 Aldrin: What a thrill!
