This photo provided by NASA shows the International Space Station from the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour during a fly around of the orbiting lab that took place following its undocking from the Harmony module’s space-facing port, Nov. 8, 2021. NASA has awarded an $843 million contract to SpaceX to build the vehicle that will bring the International Space Station out of its longtime orbit around Earth when its operating lifespan ends in a few more years.
