Atlantis amarree la station spatiale 07/2011 - Atlantis docked to the International Space station 07/2011 - The space shuttle Atlantis moored to the International Space Station (ISS) on July 18, 2011. Mission STS-135, the last United States space shuttle mission. This view of the space shuttle Atlantis while still docked with the International Space Station was taken by a crew member aboard the station on the final day of joint activities between the crew members for the STS - 135 and Expedition 28 missions. The robotic arm on the shuttle appears to be saluting “” good - bye”” to the station. Earth's airglow is seen as a thin blue line above Earth's horizon. The Raffaello multi - purpose logistics module, full of items to be returned to Earth, is seen in the aft cargo bay. 18 July 2011

Atlantis seen from the space station 07/2011 - Atlantis seen from the International Space station 07/2011 - The Atlantis space shuttle seen above the Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) on 19 July 2011. Mission STS-135, the last United States space shuttle mission. This picture of the space shuttle Atlantis was photographed from the International Space Station as the orbiting complex and the shuttle performed their relative separation in the early hours of July 19, 2011. The Raffaello multi - purpose logistics module, which transported tons of supplies to the complex, can be seen in the cargo bay. It is filled with different materials from the station for return to Earth. Onboard the station were Russian cosmonauts Andrey Borisenko, commander; Sergei Volkov and Alexander Samokutyaev, both flight engineers; Japan Aerospace Exploration astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and NASA astronauts Mike Fossum and Ron Garan, all flight engineers. Onboard the shuttle were NASA astronauts Chris Ferguson, commander; Doug Hurley, pilot; and Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, both mission specialists

Houston Training Pool - NBL facilities (Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory) - The Houston Pool (Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory) is used for astronaut training. Measuring 60 metres long, 30 metres wide and 12 metres deep, this basin hosts models of the International Space Station modules allowing astronauts to train in a state close to weightlessness on their future outings into space. The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory pool at Nasa's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where astronauts, wearing a 65 - kg Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit, practice spacewalking and working outside the International Space Station during underwater simulated extravehicular activities (EVAs). This facility consists in a 60 - m - long, 30 - m - wide and 12 - m - deep water reservoir, with a capacity of 23,500 cubic meters. Two overhead bridge cranes are used to display mock space station modules for training. The spacesuit buoyancy provides a simulated weightlessness for astronaut trainees. Most ESA astronauts have been practicing EVAs at the NBL as part of their NASA Mission Specialist training
