Astronauts Carl E. Walz (foreground) and James H. Newman evaluate some important gear. Walz reaches for the Power Ratchet Tool (PRT) while Newman checks out mobility on the Portable Foot Restraint (PFR) near the Space Shuttle Discovery's starboard Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) pod. The tools and equipment will be instrumental on some of the five periods of extravehicular activity (EVA) scheduled for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) STS-61 servicing mission later this year.
