The first rays of an orbital sunrise illuminate the Earth's atmosphere in this photograph from the International Space Station as it orbited 262 above the Pacific Ocean south of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula.

The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
