Stock Photo - Just a few feet away from the camera lens onboard Endeavour, the Russian-built Zarya control module and the U.S.-built Unity connecting module are connected in the shuttle's cargo bay. Using the Endeavour's 50-ft.-long Canadian-built robot arm, astronaut Nancy J. Currie, working from the aft flight deck, plucked Zarya out of orbit at 5:47 p.m. (CST), Dec. 6. The craft had been orbiting Earth for a little over 16 days prior to the grapple and subsequent docking to Unity. This image was recorded with an electronic still camera (ESC) at 00:24:53 GMT, Dec. 7.
