International Space Station
Taken by Ralf Vandebergh on June 10, 2015 @
On May 27, NASA relocated thePermanent Multipurpose Module, or PMM, from the Earth-facing port on the stations Unity node to the Tranquility nodes forward port. The new location makes it possible to see this module that was formerly known as MPLM easily in telescopic images when the station passes overhead. On its previous location at the Earth-facing side, it was nearly invisible in ground-based images.
Image was taken with manually tracked 10 inch aperture reflecting telescope and monochromatic CCD camera.
