| ISS005-E-21472 (25 November 2002) --- The Space Shuttle Endeavour
is backdropped over Cook Strait, New Zealand as it approaches the International
Space Station (ISS) during STS-113 rendezvous and docking operations. Docking
occurred at 3:59 p.m. (CST) on November 25, 2002. The Port One (P1) truss,
which was later to be attached to the station and outfitted during three
spacewalks, can be seen in Endeavour's cargo bay. Endeavour's namesake,
and her captain, First Lieutenant James Cook, moved through the waters of
Cook Strait for the first time on Feb. 7, 1770. |
