S115-E-06764 (17 Sept. 2006) --- This view of the International Space Station, backdropped against a blue and white Earth, was photographed shortly after the Space Shuttle Atlantis undocked from the orbital outpost at 7:50 a.m. (CDT). The unlinking completed six days, two hours and two minutes of joint operations with the station crew. Atlantis left the station with a new, second pair of 240-foot solar wings, attached to a new 17.5-ton section of truss with batteries, electronics and a giant rotating joint. The new solar arrays eventually will double the station's onboard power when their electrical systems are brought online during the next shuttle flight, planned for launch in December.
