This is one of a series of images showing various parts of the space shuttle Atlantis in Earth orbit as photographed by one of three crewmembers -- half the International Space Station crew -- who were equipped with still cameras for this purpose on the station as the shuttle "posed" for photos and visual surveys and performed a back-flip for the rendezvous pitch maneuver (RPM). An 800 millimeter lens was used to capture this particular series of images.
