STS106-709-016 (19 September 2000) --- One of the STS-106 crew members on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis, 204 nautical miles above Earth, used a handheld 70mm camera to photograph this image of the shuttle's cargo bay, a broad band of clouds and a land scene featuring Lake Ontario. Center point coordinates of the ground area are 44 degrees north latitude and 77 degrees west longitude. The Spacehab module, which supports this mission to the International Space Station (ISS), can be seen at the back of the cargo bay. The Atlantis had earlier separated from the ISS after several days of being docked with the orbital outpost.
