Discovery Visits the International Space Station

Someone just got inspiration for a new concentration piece for their AP 2D portfolio. The machinery looks far more complex than I regularly give it credit for. It looks like Robo-Kraken is attacking the space station. That would be the space stations Dextre Robot and Canadarm2. The Japanese Kibo Experiment Module is also pictured, on the lower right. The docking discovery shuttle has brought with it six crew members and the Leonardo Multi Purpose Logistics Module to be installed. Other upgrades are to be made to the space station during this venture.
