S117-E-09505 (18 June 2007) --- What may have been the final joint meal shared by the crewmembers of Expedition 15 with those of Atlantis STS-117 mission, took place in the Zvezda service module on June 18. In the foreground, astronaut Rick Sturckow looks on as a crewmate floats in from a higher angle. Seen in the background is cosmonaut Oleg Kotov (near left) of Russia's Federal Space Agency, Expedition 15 flight engineer. The two crews bade farewell to one another and closed the hatches between their spacecraft at 5:51 p.m. on this day in preparation for the shuttle's departure the following morning at 9:42 a.m. The hatch closing wrapped up eight days of docked operations.
