STS-124, June 2008
The newly installed Kibo laboratory (right) attached to the starboard side of the Harmony node of the International Space Station is photographed from Space Shuttle Discovery as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation. The Columbus laboratory is at center left and the Canadian-built Dextre is at center bottom, along with two Russian spacecrafts docked with the station. Earlier the STS-124 and Expedition 17 crews concluded almost nine days of cooperative work onboard the shuttle and station. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 6:42 a.m. (CDT) on June 11, 2008.
