iss021e030143 (Nov. 19, 2009) — The newly-arrived Poisk Mini-Research Module-2 is seen docked to the space-facing port of the forward section of the Zvezda service module. Attached to the rear of Poisk is the last stage of a Russian spacecraft that automatically guided and docked the module to the International Space Station. The Russian spacecraft would later undock from Poisk and deorbit for a fiery but safe destruction in Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.
