Explanation:
The International Space Station (ISS) continues to grow.
Last month, the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavor delivered new
Logistics Modules and installed the new Canadarm2 on the growing outpost.
The
ISS -- complete with its new arm -- was
photographed 400 kilometers above planet Earth by the
Space Shuttle Endeavor crew soon after they undocked.
The shuttle then flew around the
station for a survey.
Three members of the
Expedition Two Crew remain aboard the ISS
running scientific experiments and unpacking over
two tons of material delivered by the shuttle.
The
next shuttle scheduled to visit the
ISS will be Atlantis in June.
