PIX4602554: H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) - Close up of the H - II Transfer Vehicle (or HTV) when attached to the International Space Station (ISS) by the robotic arm of the station. The HTV is an uninhabited spaceship of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is used to supply the International Space Station (ISS). Image obtained from the International Space Station on September 17, 2009. A close - up view of the unpiloted English H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) in the grasp of the International Space Station's robotic Canadarm2. NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk and European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, all Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the station's robotic arm to grab the cargo craft and attach it to the Earth - facing port of the Harmony node. The attachment was completed at 5:26 (CDT) on Sep 17, 2009 / Bridgeman Images
TEC4602558: Stained glass windows of the Cathedrale de Chartres (Eure and Loire). Built partly from 1145, and rebuilt in twenty-six years after the fire of 1194, it is the monument par excellence of French Gothic art. Its vast nave of the purest ogival style, its porches with admirable mid-12th century sculptures, its shimmering set of stained glass windows from the 12th and 13th centuries make it an exceptional masterpiece and remarkably well preserved. The Cathedrale de Chartres has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Photography 30/06/05. / Bridgeman Images

PIX4602561: H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) - The H-II Transfer Vehicle (or HTV) is attached to the International Space Station (ISS) by the robotic arm of the station. The HTV is an uninhabited spaceship of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is used to supply the International Space Station (ISS). Image obtained from the International Space Station on September 17, 2009. Backdropped by Earth's horizon and the blackness of space, the unpiloted English H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) approaches the International Space Station. Once the HTV was in range, NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk and European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, all Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the station's robotic arm to grab the cargo craft and attach it to the Earth - facing port of the Harmony node. The attachment was completed at 5:26 (CDT) on Sep 17, 2009. The end effector of the Canadarm2 is visible at bottom right / Bridgeman Images

LBY4601788: Batobus in front of the Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris. From the 4th century, an episcopal ensemble, an atour group of a basilica with exceptional dimensions, settled on the island of La Cite. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began around 1160 and was completed in the 14th century. Partially destroyed during the Revolution, it had to be extensively restored in the 19th century by Eugene Viollet the Duke (1814-1879). / Bridgeman Images

PIX4600869: Back to Earth of the Soyuz TM capsule - 33 - 05/2002 - Return module of Soyuz TM - 33 - 05/2002 - View of the Soyuz TM capsule - 33 after landing in the Kazakhstan steppes on 5 May 2002. The recovery team is preparing to get astronauts Roberto Vittori, Yuri Gidzenko and Mark Shuttleworth out of the capsule. Russian recovery team members gather around the scorched return module of Soyuz TM - 33, shortly after its landing in the steppes of Kazakhstan and the completion of the Marco Polo mission to the International Space Station (ISS), on May 5, 2002. The recovery team is about to install a scaffolding to help the crew out the module. The Marco Polo mission, with ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori, from Italy, was performed under an agreement between Russia's Rosaviakosmos, the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and ESA. Roberto Vittori was launched into space onboard Soyuz TM - 34 at 12:26 local time on April 25 with Russian mission commander Yuri Gidzenko and South African flight participant Mark Shuttleworth. The spacecraft successfully docked with the ISS two days later. Roberto Vittori spent one week onboard the orbital outpost, performing experiments, and returned to Earth with his crewmates onboard Soyuz TM - 33. Soyuz TM - 33 landed safely some 26 km south - east of the city of Arkalyk in Kazakhstan, at 10:51 local time, concluding a mission that lasted 237 hours and 25 minutes / Bridgeman Images
