Inspecting the Hubble space telescope
The Adventures of the Shuttle are depicted in the three space walk images below. The space walk to the Hubble space telescope is fact, whereas those to the JSAT satellite as well as to the Nautilus spacecraft are space art fiction.
Checking the JCSAT satellite
JCSAT-4A, previously designated JCSAT-6, is a Japanese geostationary communications satellite which is operated by JSAT Corporation. It is positioned in geostationary orbit at a longitude of 124° East, from where it is used to provide broadcasting and corporate network communications to Japan
Visiting The Nautilus spacecraft
Nautilus-X (Non-Atmospheric Universal Transport Intended for Lengthy United States exploration) is a multi-mission space exploration vehicle imagined by the Technology Applications Assessment Team by NASA. The spacecraft was designed for long duration (one to twenty four months) exo-atmospheric space journeys for a six people crew. In order to limit the effects of microgravity on human health, the spacecraft is to be equipped with a centrifuge.
