    A fisheye lens photograph taken from a Space Shuttle payload bay showing early assembly stages of the International Space Station (ISS) against the black void of space. Two modules are visible docked together — identifiable as the Zarya (FGB) control module and the Unity (Node 1) connecting module — with solar arrays deployed. The curved foreground shows the interior structure of the Shuttle's open cargo bay.

    Photographic documentation showing several fisheye views of the deployment of the International Space Station (ISS) Node 1 module and its mating to the Functional Cargo Block (FGB) during the STS-46 mission. In the images with astronauts during extravehicular activity (EVA), Jerry L. Ross is EVA 1 (stripes) and James H. Newman is EVA 2 (no stripes). These images were taken from the IMAX Cargo Bay Camera (ICBC). Images include: Ross, using the Portable Foot Restraint (PFR) attached to the Remote Manipulator System (RMS), and Newman working with the wire harnesses on the aft end of the FGB - the connected Node 1 and FBG drifts above Endeavor's, Orbital Vehicle (OV) 105's, payload bay and an earth limb is visible (03370); Newman, using the PFR, works by the overhead Common Berthing Mechanism (CBM) of Node 1 while Ross uses an EVA handrail near Pressurized Mating Adapter 2 (PMA 2) (03771-2); a view of the payload bay of Endeavor looking forward - the RMS, shuttle airlock hatch, an earth limb and a pallet are visible (03773 and 03780); Newman, using the PFR, and Ross work on the starboard side of Node 1 - an earth limb is visible (03774); a full view of Node 1 being manuveured by the RMS over the payload bay - PMA 1 is clearly visible as well as an earth limb (03775); the RMS guides the FGB towards Node 1 over the payload bay (03776); the RMS maneuvers Node 1 into place over the payload bay - an earth limb is in the background (03777); Newman works on the aft end of Node 1 near PMA 1 (03778); and Newman, using the PFR, works on the starboard side of Node 1 while Ross works on the port side - an earth limb is visible (03779).
