Leonardo at the Ready
This is one of a series of 800mm survey digital still photographs of space shuttle Discovery as it performed a full 360-degree backflip.
The series of photos were made by the Expedition 20 crew on board the International Space Station as the two spacecraft drew near to each other on STS-128's third flight day.
This view shows almost the entire top portion of Discovery, including Leonardo, the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module, in the cargo bay.
