    STS110-730-031 (17 April 2002) --- This full view of the International Space Station (ISS) recorded by the STS-110 crewmembers on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis following the undocking of the two spacecraft some 247 statute miles above the North Atlantic. Atlantis pulled away from the complex at 1:31 p.m. (CDT). After more than a week of joint operations between the shuttle and station crews, astronaut Stephen N. Frick, pilot, backed Atlantis away to a distance of about 400 feet in front of the station, where he began a 1 ?-lap flyaround of the ISS, newly equipped with the 27,000 pound S0 (S-zero) truss. S0 is the first segment of a much larger truss structure, which will ultimately expand the station to the length of a football field.
