Sunrise Above Pacific Ocean | International Space Station

The International Space Station orbits into a sunrise above the Pacific Ocean. The International Space Station's Canadarm2 robotic arm (at left) and one of its main solar arrays (at right) are pictured while the spacecraft orbited into a sunrise 257 miles above the Pacific Ocean.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the  International Space Station (ISS). 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.
