ISS027-E-032089 (18 May 2011) --- This close-up view of the space shuttle Endeavours three main engines was provided by an Expedition 27 crew member during a survey of the approaching STS-134 vehicle prior to docking with the International Space Station. As part of the survey and part of every mission's activities, Endeavour performed a back-flip for the rendezvous pitch maneuver (RPM).
