ISS022-E-068867 (9 Feb. 2010) --- This view of the space shuttle Endeavour, taken on Feb. 9 from the International Space Station as the two spacecraft conducted their rendezvous operations, was downlinked by the Expedition 22 crew on Feb. 19. The Tranquility node and the Cupola can be seen in the shuttle's payload bay.

ISS022-E-068864 (9 Feb. 2010) --- This view of the space shuttle Endeavour, taken on Feb. 9 from the International Space Station as the two spacecraft conducted their rendezvous operations, was downlinked by the Expedition 22 crew on Feb. 19. The Tranquility node and the Cupola are just out of view in the aft part of shuttle's payload bay.

ISS022-E-068859 (9 Feb. 2010) --- This view of the space shuttle Endeavour, taken on Feb. 9 from the International Space Station as the two spacecraft conducted their rendezvous operations, was downlinked by the Expedition 22 crew on Feb. 19. The Tranquility node and the Cupola can be seen in the shuttle's payload bay.

ISS022-E-068856 (9 Feb. 2010) --- This view of the space shuttle Endeavour, taken on Feb. 9 from the International Space Station as the two spacecraft conducted their rendezvous operations, was downlinked by the Expedition 22 crew on Feb. 19.

ISS022-E-068844 (9 Feb. 2010) --- This view of the space shuttle Endeavour, taken from the International Space Station on Feb. 9 as the two spacecraft conducted their rendezvous operations, was downlinked by the Expedition 22 crew on Feb. 19. The Tranquility node and the Cupola can be clearly seen in the shuttle's payload bay.

ISS022-E-068841 (9 Feb. 2010) --- This view of the space shuttle Endeavour, taken on Feb. 9 from the International Space Station as the two spacecraft conducted their rendezvous operations, was downlinked by the Expedition 22 crew on Feb. 19. A Russian spacecraft is docked to the station in the foreground.

ISS022-E-062674 (9 Feb. 2010)--- Though astronauts and cosmonauts often encounter striking scenes of Earth's limb, this very unique image, part of a series over Earth's colorful horizon, has the added feature of a silhouette of the space shuttle Endeavour. The image was photographed by an Expedition 22 crew member prior to STS-130 rendezvous and docking operations with the International Space Station. Docking occurred at 11:06 p.m. (CST) on Feb. 9, 2010. The orbital outpost was at 46.9 south latitude and 80.5 west longitude, over the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern Chile with an altitude of 183 nautical miles when the image of the was recorded. The orange layer is the troposphere, where all of the weather and clouds which we typically watch and experience are generated and contained. This orange layer gives way to the whitish Stratosphere and then into the Mesosphere. In some frames the black color is part of a window frame rather than the blackness of space.
