iss071e007603 (April 15, 2024) --- Expedition 71 Flight Engineer and NASA astronaut Mike Barratt reviews procedures on a computer tablet during maintenance on a pair of spacesuits inside the International Space Station's Quiest airlock.

iss072e010488 (Oct. 2, 2024) --- Denver, Colorado, split by the South Platte River, and with Standley Lake at top right, is pictured from the International Space Station as it orbited 258 miles above the Centennial State.

iss070e117532 (March 14, 2024) --- Expedition 70 Flight Engineer and NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps prepares tubes to collect samples from the crew for the Immunity Assay investigation. Immunity Assay looks at the impact of spaceflight on cellular immune functions in blood samples, tests that could only previously be conducted on Earth.

iss071e006791 (April 24, 2024) --- An aurora blankets Earth's horizon in this photograph from the International Space Station as it orbited 260 miles above North America. In the foreground, are the Rassvet module and the Nauka science module. The Prichal docking module and the Soyuz MS-25 crew ship are both attached to Nauka.

iss071e170351 (6/3/2024) --- NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick captured red sprites from space station. The bright red flashes in the center of this image are a little-understood phenomenon associated with powerful lightning events and appear high above the clouds in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Red sprites are one type of Transient Luminous Events, colorful bursts of energy that appear above storms due to lightning activity occurring in and below storms on Earth. Understanding processes occurring in Earth’s atmosphere can help improve climate modeling and monitoring.
