NASA Shuttle Atlantis: Inside the Cargo bay

This image of Atlantis' payload bay, focusing on the docking mechanism, was photographed by the STS-135 crew from inside the crew cabin.

The orbiter boom sensor system and a portion of the remote manipulator system's robot arm are visible in the frame, exposed during a busy third day in space for the astronauts.

The photo was made shortly before the shuttle docked with the International Space Station.
