The International Space Station Expands Again
Explanation:
The developing
International Space Station
(ISS) has changed its appearance again.
Last month, the
Space Shuttle
orbiter
Atlantis
visited the
ISS
and added components that included the
Columbus Science Laboratory.
The entire array of expansive solar panels is visible in
this picture
taken by
the
Atlantis 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
past
images
.
Also visible above are many
different types of modules
, a robotic
arm
, another impressive set of
solar panels
, and a supply ship.
Construction began on the
ISS
in 1998.
