Description: Backdropped by the blackness of space and Earth's horizon, the Starboard One (S1) Truss is moved from the Space Shuttle Atlantis' cargo bay. Astronauts Sandra H. Magnus, STS-112 mission specialist, and Peggy A. Whitson, Expedition Five flight engineer, used the Canadarm2 from inside Destiny laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS) to lift the S1 Truss out of the orbiter's payload bay and move it into position at the starboard end of the S0 (S-Zero) Truss.
