Full Power
The International Space Station floats above Earth in this view from space shuttle Discovery as it departed the station on March 25. Discovery's astronauts installed a new set of solar panels, giving the station enough power to increase its crew from three members to six and to boost the amount of research the crew can perform. A Soyuz rocket lifted off from Kazakhstan soon after Discovery's departure, carrying the 19th ISS crew. [NASA]
