Description: Two crewmembers of STS-118 onboard ISS with photo tributes, Teacher in Space Barbara Morgan (who had been the backup to Christa McAuliffe for STS-51L) and Tracy Caldwell. The photo they are holding is of Clayton Anderson and Sunita Williams of ISS Expedition 15. Anderson, their classmate from Astronaut Group 17, had been slated to launch to ISS with their shuttle mission, STS-118, but got moved up to STS-117. Taped to the wall behind them is a tribute to Patty Hilliard Robertson, another Group 17 classmate, who tragically died from a plane crash which she was piloting. Next to her photo and nametag (Patty H. Robertson) is a tribute to STS-107 with a photo of the crew. NASA photo ID: S118-E-09265 (s118e09265)
