Space shuttle Atlantis
high res (1.6 M) low res (102 K)
ISS023-E-041570 (16 May 2010) --- This view of crew cabin and forward payload bay of the space shuttle Atlantis was provided by an Expedition 23 crew member during a survey of the approaching STS-132 vehicle prior to docking with the International Space Station. As part of the survey and part of every mission's activities, Atlantis performed a back-flip for the rendezvous pitch maneuver (RPM). The image was photographed with a digital still camera, using a 400mm lens at a distance of about 600 feet (180 meters).
