Discovery's middeck
ISS011-E-11532 (6 August 2005) --- During the separation of Discovery and the International Space Station, an Expedition 11 crew member took this digital still picture, featuring the cargo bay of the Shuttle. This event marked the end of nine days of joint operations of crews onboard the orbital outpost and Discovery. The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello stands out in the aft bay, now containing tons of returned material from the Space Station. The Canadian-built robot arm for the Shuttle can be seen stowed on the port side of the payload bay. The Orbiter Boom Sensor System has been reberthed in its position on the starboard sill. Undocking took place at 2:24 a.m. (CDT) on August 6.
