S97-E-5078 (8 December 2000) --- Astronauts Brent W. Jett, Jr. (left) and William M. Shepherd participate in an old Navy tradition of ringing a bell to announce the arrival or departure of someone to a ship. The bell is mounted on the wall in the Unity node of the International Space Station (ISS). The bell-ringing took place shortly after an in-space reunion on STS-97 Flight Day 9. Shepherd, Expedition 1 mission commander, is a U.S. Navy captain; and Jett, STS-97 mission commander, is a U.S. Navy commander. The photograph was taken with a digital still camera.
