Title:
Space Station Over the Ionian Sea
Explanation:
Last August, the Space Shuttle Endeavour crew captured this shot of the International Space Station (ISS) against the backdrop of Planet Earth. During that trip [ http://www.nasa.gov…sts118/mission_overv iew.html ] to the ISS [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…], the space shuttle [ http://en.wikipedia…] crew re-supplied the station, repaired the station, and even built more [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] of the station. Its primary mission complete, the crew took the premier spaceship [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] on a tour around the premier space [ http://en.wikipedia…] station. Pictured [ http://spaceflight.…sts-118/html/s118e09 467.html ] during this inspection tour, the ISS is visible in front the Ionian Sea [ http://en.wikipedia…]. The boot [ http://podiatry.cur…] of Italy [ http://en.wikipedia…] is visible on the left, while the western coastlines of Greece [ http://en.wikipedia…] and Albania [ http://en.wikipedia…] stretch across [ http://earthobserva…images.php3?img_id=1 7777 ] the top. The dorsal fin [ http://en.wikipedia…] of the upside-down [ http://www.physlink…ae524.cfm ] shuttle orbiter pokes into the very top of the image. The Space Shuttle Discovery subsequently visited the ISS [ http://www.nasa.gov…sts120/ ] in October while the next shuttle mission [ http://en.wikipedia…List_of_space_shuttl e_missions ] to the ISS is scheduled for next week.
