Images of Canada from 2004
Description
JSC2006-E-16509 (October 2004) --- A team of NASA engineers and Canadian scientists tested a futuristic planetary drill at the Eureka Weather Station, seen in the distance, on Ellesmere Island in Canada?s Nunavut province, about 690 miles from the North Pole. Conditions at the outpost are in some ways similar to those found on the moon and Mars.
Description
JSC2006-E-16508 (October 2004) --- NASA?s planetary drill, under development at Johnson Space Center, proves it can take on bedrock or ice during an October 2004 field test in Canada?s Arctic. JSC engineers Brian Derkowski, Mike Drever, Tim Cooper and Jeff George, from left, spent two weeks gathering core samples for study by Canadian scientists. A second-generation prototype is being tested April 27 - May 10, 2006.
Description
JSC2006-E-16506 (October 2004) --- Core samples like the one being held by Jeff George, left, manager of JSC?s Planetary Drill Project, and Canadian scientist Dr. Chris Omelon of the University of Toronto will be used to study the geology and biology of Canada?s Arctic tundra. The sample was gathered by a futuristic planetary drill field tested by JSC engineers in Canada?s Nunavut province.
Description
JSC2004-E-44839 (11 October 2004) --- Equipped with SCUBA gear, the NEEMO-7 crewmembers leave the Aquarius habitat to begin a two-hour underwater extravehicular activity (EVA). Pictured are astronaut/aquanaut Robert B. Thirsk, commander representing the Canada Space Agency; astronaut/aquanauts Michael R. Barratt and Catherine G. (Cady) Coleman, both mission specialists; and Dr. Craig McKinley of the Centre for Minimal Access Surgery at St. Joseph?s Healthcare Hamilton, Ontario. Their destination was a site about 450 feet from the Aquarius habitat to survey the area for future mission operations. The crew is spending 10 days, October 11-20, undersea mission aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s (NOAA) Aquarius Underwater Laboratory, located off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. The project goal is to evaluate the use of tele-mentoring and tele-robotics in performing emergency diagnostic, surgical and interventional therapies in a confined environment, as found in space flight.

ISS009-E-15361 (17 July 2004) --- Astronaut Edward M. (Mike) Fincke, Expedition 9 NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer, is pictured in the Zvezda Service Module of the International Space Station (ISS). A bag of tomato seeds for the Tomatosphere II Project, an educational program sponsored by Canadian Space Agency (CSA), floats nearby. The seeds will be distributed to classrooms in Canada for use in plant growth experiments.
