This view of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, including the crew cabin and part of the cargo bay, was provided by an Expedition 20 crewmember during a survey of the approaching vehicle prior to docking with the International Space Station. As part of the survey and part of every mission's activities, Endeavour performed a back-flip for the rendezvous pitch maneuver(RPM). The image was photographed with a digital still camera, using a 400mm lens at a distance of about 600 feet (180 meters).
