iss064e004108 (Nov. 11, 2020) — A U.S. cargo craft and a Russian crew ship are pictured attached as the International Space Station orbited over the cloud-covered South Atlantic just off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. The Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply ship, with its prominent cymbal-shaped solar arrays, is attached to the Earth-facing port of the Unity module. The Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft, that launched the Expedition 64 crew to the station, is docked to the Rassvet module.
