Space Station Over the Ionian Sea
Explanation:
Last August, the Space Shuttle Endeavour crew
captured this shot of the International Space Station (ISS)
against the backdrop of Planet Earth.
During
that trip
to the
ISS
, the
space shuttle
crew re-supplied the station, repaired the station, and even
built more
of the station.
Its primary mission complete, the crew took the
premier spaceship
on a tour around the
premier space
station.
Pictured
during this inspection
tour, the ISS is visible in front the
Ionian Sea
.
The
boot
of
Italy
is visible on the
left, while the western coastlines of
Greece
and
Albania
stretch
across
the top.
The
dorsal fin
of
the
upside-down
shuttle orbiter pokes into the very
top of the image.
The Space Shuttle Discovery subsequently
visited the ISS
in October while the next
shuttle mission
to the ISS is
scheduled for next week.
