A stunning black and white image captured from Earth shows the Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the International Space Station (ISS). Atlantis is visible below and to the left of the ISS, its three main engines gleaming. The ISS's solar arrays are clearly visible, showcasing the impressive scale of the space station. The image was taken using a satellite tracking system and a 25-inch telescope.

A photograph of the Tethered Satellite System 1 (TSS-1) deployed from the Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1992. The image shows the satellite connected to the shuttle by a thin tether against the backdrop of space. This experiment, while ultimately unsuccessful, was a crucial step in developing space tether technology and realizing the dream of space elevators.
