The International Space Station on the Horizon
The International Space Station, seen from the departing Space Shuttle Discovery, is a complex orbital home. This image shows its various modules, trusses, and the distinctive long solar panels. The STS-121 crew spent over 12 days at the station, resupplying it and preparing it for future expansion. It's a continually evolving outpost in low Earth orbit.
