August 14, 2007 - An external stowage platform (ESP-3) is photographed in the payload bay of Space Shuttle Endeavour while docked with the International Space Station. Astronauts Tracy Caldwell and Barbara R. Morgan, both STS-118 mission specialists, were inside at Endeavours controls as the shuttles robotic arm (lower right) lifted the storage platform from the cargo bay to hand it over to the stations robotic arm, also known as Canadarm2. Astronauts Charlie Hobaugh, pilot, and Clay Anderson, Expedition 15 flight engineer, then used Canadarm2 to attach the 13-by-7-foot platform to the stations Port 3 truss

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in space exploration as the payload bay of Space Shuttle Endeavour is showcased. Taken on August 14,2007, the image showcases an external stowage platform (ESP-3) nestled within the shuttle's cargo bay while docked with the International Space Station. Astronauts Tracy Caldwell and Barbara R. Morgan, both STS-118 mission specialists, can be seen inside Endeavour's controls as they oversee this crucial operation. The shuttle's robotic arm gracefully lifts the storage platform from its cargo bay to hand it over to Canadarm2, the station's own robotic arm. The skilled hands of astronauts Charlie Hobaugh and Clay Anderson take over using Canadarm2 to attach this massive 13-by-7-foot platform to the Port 3 truss of the station. This intricate connection ensures that vital components are safely transported and stored in space. Against a backdrop of Earth’s majestic beauty, our blue planet shines brightly beneath an American flag proudly displayed on one side of ESP-3. This awe-inspiring sight reminds us of humanity’s relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our home planet. This photograph not only captures a remarkable feat accomplished by NASA but also symbolizes international collaboration and technological advancements in space exploration. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination as we continue pushing boundaries for future generations venturing into outer space.
