NASA Finally Releases Photos of Endeavour Docked at ISS
"This image of the International Space Station and the docked Space Shuttle Endeavour, flying at an altitude of approximately 220 miles, was taken by Expedition 27 crew member Paolo Nespoli from the Soyuz TMA-20 following its undocking on May 23, 2011 (USA time). It is the first-ever image of a space shuttle docked to the International Space Station. "
Keith's 7 June update:Huh? "the first-ever image of a space shuttle docked to the International Space Station"? Look at the photos below. People have been photographing shuttles docked to ISS for years.

So ... Where Are those Cool Soyuz Fly Around Pix? (Update), earlier post
