Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment Assembly (TMG)
The TMG is part of the extravehicular spacesuit worn by astronauts during spacewalks. It protects the wearer against solar radiation, extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and other orbital debris. Small flecks of paint or millimeter-sized micrometeoroids traveling at thousands of miles per hour can depressurize a suit or vehicle, potentially killing an astronaut.

The vest component of the TMG fits over the Hard Upper Torso unit of the extravehicular spacesuit.
The crawler is in the foreground with the operations building behind it. The empty payload canistes sits in the upper right corner.
This is from the roof of the Reeves Center at 14th and U, where I'm doing some govt contracting work. The Shuttle did two big circles over DC.
Amazing, unbelievable and sad all at once. Can't believe that it's over.
