Approaching the International Space Station

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Earlier this month, the crew of the US Space Shuttle Endeavor approached the developing International Space Station, capturing this view. The Endeavor and ISS crew installed Italy's Raffaello, a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module. They also successfully deployed Canada's Canadarm2, a robot remote-controlled arm that can move about the outside of the station. The shuttle undocked from the ISS and returned to Earth, with a manned Russian Soyuz spacecraft scheduled to dock soon after.
