Docked in Space

Backdropped by the blackness of space and Earth's horizon, the docked Space Shuttle Discovery and a Soyuz spacecraft are shown in this image.

The STS-120 crew bid farewell to the Expedition 16 crew before the hatches closed at 3:03 p.m. EST Sunday between Discovery and the station. Attention now turns to Discovery’s undocking from the station a little after 5:30 a.m. Monday.
