STS-114 orbiter Discovery after undocking

ISS011-E-11536 (6 August 2005) --- Not long after the separation of Discovery and the International Space Station, an Expedition 11 crew member took this digital still picture of the Space Shuttle Discovery, backdropped against clouds and land below. Nine days ago, the Shuttle looked very much like this, but no single photo can show the amount of variegated activity that occurred in the interim. The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello stands out in the aft bay, now containing tons of returned material from the Space Station. At the beginning of the mission, the MPLM was full of fresh supplies for the Station. The Canadian-built robot arm for the Shuttle can be seen stowed on the port side of the payload bay and Orbiter Boom Sensor System has been reberthed in its position on the starboard sill, but in the last few days both components had been very instrumental in making the STS-114 flight a successful mission. Undocking took place at 2:24 a.m. (CDT) on August 6.
