Title:
A Space Station Meets its Destiny
Explanation:
The International Space Station (ISS) had a date with Destiny earlier this month. More specifically, the crew [ http://spaceflight.…] of the Space Shuttle Atlantis [ http://science.ksc.…] installed the science laboratory named Destiny [ http://spaceflight.…] on the ISS [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…]. Destiny, pictured here [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…http://spaceflight.…], will also serve as a control center for the Earth orbiting space station [ http://spaceflight.…]. To help install this module, space shuttle astronauts [ http://spacelink.na…] conducted the 100th space walk by an American [ http://spaceflight.…], an event that occurred nearly 40 years after Ed White first ventured outside of his Gemini 4 spacecraft [ http://www.nasm.edu…]. The space shuttle's crew took the above picture [ http://spaceflight.…] after their spacecraft had undocked from the space station. Over two hundred kilometers below lies the Rio Negro [ http://www.legisrn.…] region of Argentina [ http://www.cia.gov/…].
