STS108-E-5462 (14 December 2001) --- A Soyuz vehicle, docked to the International Space Station (ISS), partially obscures the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM), as astronaut Mark E. Kelly, STS-108 pilot, uses the shuttle’s robotic arm to detach it from the station to be reberthed in the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s payload bay. Raffaello has been loaded with unneeded equipment, as well as gear from the returning Expedition Three crewmembers. The image was taken with a digital still camera.
