Waxing Crescent Moon above the Atlantic Ocean | International Space Station

The waxing crescent Moon is pictured from the International Space Station as it orbited 267 miles above the Atlantic Ocean southwest of South Africa during an orbital sunrise.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the  International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
