ISS002-707-048 (21 April 2001) --- One of the three Expedition Two crewmembers aboard the International Space Station (ISS) captured this view of the Space Shuttle Endeavour with payload bay doors open as the shuttle approached the orbital outpost for an April 21, 2001 docking. Raffaello, the second Multipurpose Logistics Module (MPLM) provided by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), can be seen in its berthed position in the cargo bay. Topography in northern Africa serves as a backdrop for the scene. Onboard the station are cosmonaut Yury V. Usachev, Expedition Two commander, and astronauts Susan J. Helms and James S. Voss, flight engineers. Onboard the shuttle are astronauts Kent V. Rominger, Jeffrey S. Ashby, Scott E. Parazynski, John L. Phillips, Chris A.
