Title: Astronaut Edward White during first EVA performed during Gemini 4 flight
Description:
Astronaut Edward H. White II, pilot for the Gemini-Titan 4 space flight,
floats in zero gravity of space. The extravehicular activity was performed
during the third revolution of the Gemini 4 spacecraft. White is attached
to the spacecraft by a 25-ft. umbilical line and a 23-ft. tether line,
both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White
carries a Hand-Held Self-Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU). The visor of his helmet
is gold plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun.
