The International Space Station Expands Again
Explanation: The developing
International Space Station
(ISS) has changed its appearance again. In a recently completed rendezvous, the
Space Shuttle
orbiter
Discovery
, in its
final flight
, visited the
ISS
and added components that included the
Leonardo Multi Purpose Logistics Module
. The ISS and many of its modules and expansive solar panels are visible in
the above picture
taken by the
Discovery Crew
after leaving the
ISS
to return to Earth. The world's
foremost space outpost
can be seen developing over the past several years by comparing the above image
to
other
past
images
. Also visible above are many
different types of modules
and
supply ships
. Construction began on the
ISS
in 1998. Challenge:
Can you identify specific ISS components?
