The crews of STS 114 and ISS get together - they followed an old Navy tradition of ringing a bell to announce the arrival or departure of someone to a ship.
Space Shuttle returned to ISS first time since Nov. 25th, 2002.

This image shows part of the central truss that runs the length of the ISS.
The ISS Hardware Integration Facility runs tests to ensure that all the space station modules, the products of many nations, work correctly with each other before launch. Most, if not all, of the modules seen here are now in orbit.
This image was taken on an April 2001 education trip to NASA for school pupils from Wales and Cornwall. At that time it was possible to go beyond the tourist route; the ISS modules seen here are real and not the mock ups shown to the public. 9/11 changed all that when we returned in 2002.
This image was taken on film and scanned shortly afterwards. The EXIF data refers to the scan.
This image shows one of the three Italian built logistics modules for the ISS. Since service missions are being carried out by Russian Progress-M modules I don't know if these are in use. One thing is certain, the Italians have put more time and money into the ISS than the UK.

Here's the Space Station coming over on the wonderfully clear night of September 16, 2009, with it coming out of the western twilight, passing between Arcturus and the Big Dipper (lower area of frame) and passing straight overhead (top of frame) then going out of frame as it heads east. Canadian astronaut Bob Thirsk on board the ISS had just celebrated 100 days in space.
This is a composite of eight 30-second exposures, stacked together to create the effect of the ISS as a streak across the sky. The 1 second interval between exposures created the gap between streaks. The length of exposures has also streaked the stars into concentric trails revolving around Polaris, the North Star, right of centre. © 2009 Alan Dyer
I took this shot of the space station passing over our house on 3-19 at 2012. This was taken at 30 seconds. Notice the red and blue lights around. This is known as the red shift. Stars moving toward us apear as red, Stars moving aways apear as blue. Since this was shot as a Raw image (not maniputaed by the settings of the camera), you can see this variation
Like the shuttle orbiters, the ISS has a Canadian manufactured robotic arm, only larger and more sophisticated. This image shows the tool cradle for the arm.
