iss065e162364 (July 8, 2021) — Looking from back to front, the International Space Station’s Russian segment is pictured leading to the U.S. segment while orbiting 273 miles above the south Atlantic Ocean. At top right, is the Zarya module with the Rassvet module and the docked Soyuz MS-18 crew ship. The Canadarm2 robotic arm is seen next to the Tranquility module to which the cupola and BEAM, the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, are attached. Two pairs of the station’s main solar arrays are also seen descending from the orbiting lab’s port side truss structure.
