Introduction
On September 22, 2010, with the departure of the Expediton 23 crew, Colonel Douglas H.
Wheelock assumed command of the Internatonal Space Staton and the Expediton 25 crew. He is
also known as @Astro_Wheels on twiter, where he has been tweetng space photos to his
followers since he arrived at the space staton.



We thought that we should put some of the space photos together as a tribute to him and the
whole ISS crew. The space photos bring breathtaking views from our only of planet Vista point.

The following space photos are all visible on Astro_Wheels twitpic account, and we are eternally
grateful to him for sharing these space photos with the world. Many have commented directly to
him but we want to make it clear Triggerpit does not have any afliaton with Astronaut Wheelock
nor NASA. The confusion might have been since all the captons are all his own words as can also
be seen on his twitpic account.
