| S114-E-7278 (6 August 2005) --- The International Space Station
is backdropped against the blackness of space 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, as cameras on each spacecraft captured video
and still images of the other. Undocking occurred at 2:24 a.m. (CDT), August
6, 2005. |
