Spacewalking astronauts work to complete repairs to a cosmic ray detector outside the International Space Station
This photo provided by NASA shows the view from NASA's Andrew Morgan's helmet cam as Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano works outside the International Space Station during a spacewalk, January 25, 2020.

Unlike Hubble, this spectrometer was never intended for astronaut handling in orbit, and it took NASA years to devise a repair plan.
