A farewell snapshot of the International Space Station (ISS) was captured with a 35mm camera through the Space Shuttle Discovery's crew optical alignment system during separation operations. Discoloration of the station is associated with the COAS. This edge-on image reveals the newest additions to the station, with the Z1 Truss structure on top and the third pressurized mating adapter on bottom in this angle.
