Summary edit

Description
English: Discovery was about 600 feet from the International Space Station when Expedition 11 Station Commander Sergei Krikalev and Station NASA Science Officer and Flight Engineer John Phillips took photos for about a minute and a half as Discovery Commander Eileen Collins guided the spacecraft through the first ever Rendezvous pitch maneuver during STS-114.
Space Shuttle Discovery approaches the International Space Station. On the left side of the image (under the left wing) is Lake Neuchatel, Switzerland. The city at the end of the lake is Yverdon. The Jura Mountains (most of the green portion of the background) are to the right in the image. Discovery later docked to the Station at 6:18 a.m. (CDT) on Thursday, July 28, 2005 as the two spacecraft orbited over the southern Pacific Ocean west of the South American coast. Onboard the Shuttle were astronauts Eileen M. Collins, STS-114 commander; James M. Kelly, pilot; Andrew S. W. Thomas, Stephen K. Robinson, Wendy B. Lawrence, Charles J. Camarda and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi, all mission specialists.
