This 800mm image, showing the top of space shuttle Endeavour's crew cabin, its firewall and part of the docking mechanism in the cargo bay, was photographed by one of the Expedition 22 crew members aboard the International Space Station. The two spacecraft were in the midst of rendezvous operations, which included a back-flip by the shuttle for the purposes of inspecting and photographing it from a number of angles.
