STS98-E-5297 (16 February 2001) --- Goodbyes are plentiful as five astronauts prepare to depart the International Space Station (ISS) and return to the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Cosmonauts Sergei K. Krikalev, Expedition One flight engineer; and Yuri P. Gidzenko, Soyuz commander for the station crew, appear in the center of the scene. They are surrounded by astronauts Mark L.
