Flight Day 2

This view of space shuttle Endeavour's crew cabin and forward payload bay was taken by an Expedition 22 crew member during a survey of the approaching shuttle before it docked with the International Space Station.

As part of the survey during each mission's activities, Endeavour performed a back-flip for the rendezvous pitch maneuver. The image was photographed with a digital still camera, using a 400mm lens at a distance of about 600 feet (180 meters).
