Mike Foale attached a photo of his children (top left) to the wall
of Spektr, the module Foale used as his living quarters. After the
collision of a Progress Resupply Vehicle with the space station, the
Spektr was uninhabitable. The photo was rescued during the internal
spacewalk by the Mir-24 cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov. Also rescued was
the touch point mouse pad (bottom right).
After the collision Foale received via a Progress a video tape (bottom
left) from his family, a gold colored tin (top right) from his sister
in England, and a draft of a science fiction novel from its author
(center, three-ring binder).
Also pictured are the mirror used by Foale while on his extravehicular
activity (attached to can), and a tape of Russian music from the Mir
Base Block music library.
