Views of the ISS taken from Atlantis during STS-106

STS106-709-026 (8-20 September 2000) --- The STS-106 crew members used a 70mm handheld camera to capture this view of the International Space Station (ISS) over a moderately cloud-covered land area. The station component nearest the camera is the U.S.-built Unity node, which is connected with the Russian-built Functional Cargo Block (FGB) or Zarya. The FGB was linked in July with the Service Module or Zvezda, seen near the bottom of ISS in this angle. On the far end, next to the service module, is the Progress supply ship, which joined ISS in August.
