Not long after separation of the Space Shuttle Discovery from the International Space Station (ISS), a crew member onboard the shuttle was able to use a 70mm handheld camera to grab this edge-on image of the station, featuring its newest additions. Backdropped against the blackness of space, the Z1 Truss structure and its antenna, as well as the new pressurized mating adapter, are visible in the foreground. Oct 25 2000.
