S129-E-009501 (24 Nov. 2009) --- Cosmonaut Roman Romanenko, Expedition 20/21 flight engineer, is pictured onboard the International Space Station on the eve of the undocking of the orbital outpost and the space shuttle Atlantis and the departure of the STS-129 crew. Romanenko's tenure onboard the station is winding down, also, as he is scheduled to return to Earth in less than a week onboard a Soyuz spacecraft, along with two crewmates.
