Taking Pictures From Space (NASA, 09/08/09)

I thought this was a great way to see how we get some of those great images taken from space...

 

Using a still camera at a window on the aft flight deck of Space Shuttle Discovery, NASA astronaut Tim Kopra, STS-128 mission specialist, photographs the International Space Station (visible through the window) after the undocking of the two spacecraft.
