| S114-E-7200 (6 August 2005) --- The International Space Station
is backdropped against a heavily cloud-covered part of Earth as the orbital
outpost moves away from the Space Shuttle Discovery. Earlier, the crews
of the two spacecraft concluded nine days of cooperative work. As the Shuttle
moved away to a distance of about 400 feet, astronaut James M. Kelly, pilot,
began a slow fly-around of the Station, while cameras on each spacecraft
captured video and still images of the other. Undocking occurred at 2:24
a.m. (CDT), August 6, 2005. |
