Just thought I'd share this amazing image that was taken of the International Space Station (ISS) by Maxar Technologies' WorldView-3 Earth-observation satellite...which launched aboard United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Atlas V rocket on August 13, 2014.
WorldView-3 was orbiting 276 kilometers (172 miles) above the ISS when this stunning picture was captured a week ago on June 7.
Speaking of ULA's Atlas V, the rocket's latest payload—Boeing's Starliner Calypso capsule—can be seen docked to the forward port of the station's Harmony module in this photo.
The annotated version of this image, showing five of the six visiting vehicles (Calypso, Crew Dragon Endeavour, Cygnus, Soyuz MS-25 as well as Progress 87 and 88) that are currently docked to the ISS, is posted below.
Calypso itself is currently set to return to Earth on June 22...landing at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico to complete Boeing's Crew Flight Test.
