The vast majority of photos of docked Soyuz spacecraft are taken on the nadir (Earth-facing) side of the International Space Station because that is where the Cupola is located. Photos of Soyuz spacecraft docked on the zenith (space-facing) side of the ISS are much harder to find.These two Expedition 28 photos were taken on different extravehicular activities (EVAs). The first photo was taken on STS-134 and shows Endeavour docked at left. The second photo was taken on STS-135 and shows Atlantis docked at right. The same Soyuz spacecraft (TMA-21) is docked at Poisk in both photos. STS-134:  STS-135:  |

The Soyuz TMA-14M spacecraft docked at Poisk can be seen in this EVA photo of Reid Wiseman on Expedition 41 in 2014. The mirror like visor of US Astronaut Reid Wiseman reflects US Astronaut Barry Wilmore during their spacewalk Oct. 15, 2014 outside the International Space Station.  |

When the last shuttle undocked from the ISS, Soyuz TMA-21 was docked at Poisk and Soyuz TMA-02M was docked at Rassvet. There were also two Progress resupply vessels docked at the station. This picture of the International Space Station was photographed from the space shuttle Atlantis as the orbiting complex and the shuttle performed their relative separation in the early hours of July 19, 2011. Onboard the station were Russian cosmonauts Andrey Borisenko, Expedition 28 commander; Sergei Volkov and Alexander Samokutyaev, both flight engineers; Japan Aerospace Exploration astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and NASA astronauts Mike Fossum and Ron Garan, all flight engineers. Onboard the shuttle were NASA astronauts Chris Ferguson, STS-135 commander; Doug Hurley, pilot; and Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, both mission specialists.  |

The Poisk module was delivered to the ISS in November 2009. In the photo, the Progress-M propulsion section is still attached to Poisk. |
