STS092-405-013 (11-26 October 2000) --- Not long before the link-up of the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station (ISS), a crew member onboard the shuttle used a 35mm camera to grab this vertical image of the station. This was one of the last looks at the station in the represented configuration, as the seven-member team went about changing its appearance with the addition of important new pieces. Backdropped against the blackness of space, the various elements visible, from top to bottom, are Node 1 or Unity, the functional cargo block (FGB) or Zarya, the service module or Zvezda, and a Progress cargo supply vehicle.
