This pair of photos show space shuttle Atlantis (STS-98) and the International Space Station at 2001/2/18 19:08 EST. This mission installed the Destiny module. The shuttle and the station had separated for a while -- they were separated by 2 minutes. But their orbit were still similar, as the trajectories show. Each photo is a 5 second exposure. From Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh. 35mm/f2.8, Fuji 800 negative film.
