The International Space Station (ISS) moves in position for docking with the Space Shuttle Endeavour, in this 70mm frame photographed by one of the STS-97 astronauts on the flight deck of the shuttle. Most of the station's components are clearly visible in the frame, with the Soyuz spacecraft docked at left to the Zvezda Service Module, which is linked to the Zarya or Functional Cargo Block (FGB). The Unity node is at right, sporting the additions from the recent STS-92 mission of the Z1 truss structure (largely obscured) and a Pressurized Mating Adapter (PMA-3). Dec 02 2000.
