STS092-702-059 (11-26 October 2000) --- Not long before the link-up of the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station (ISS), a crew member onboard the shuttle used a handheld 70mm camera to grab this image of the station. This was one of the last looks at the complex in the represented configuration, as the seven-member team went about changing its appearance with the addition of important new pieces. Backdropped against the blackness of space, all the current elements are visible, though this particular angle makes them difficult to delineate. Nearest the camera is the Progress supply ship, attached to the service module or Zvezda, which connects to the functional cargo block (FGB) or Zarya. At the top or far end in this vew is the U.S.-built Unity Node 1. Once the STS-92 crew completed its work, the addition of the Z1 Truss and a third pressurized mating adapter (PMA-3) changed the appearance considerably.
