|    Crew 1 views of ISS on approach    |
|    18 Nov 20 19:48:18    |
      From: snidely.too@gmail.com              The views NASA shared from Dragon of ISS during the approach       (yesterday) ... are those taken by the same camera that is used to       acquire the docking target? The crew is strapped in and the portholes       are not easily reached from the seats.              I'm discussing the shots that show the whole station. The final       approach shots of the PMA are also in play, but the big view is the       sexy one.              There could, of course, be additional cameras that crew or ground       operate remotely, but the docking camera seems like an obvious choice.              Shuttle views were handled by a Mission Specialist shooting through       mid-deck ports, IIRC, but there was also an approach camera in the       shuttle's docking adapter.              /dps              --        Maybe C282Y is simply one of the hangers-on, a groupie following a       future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered       virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.        Bradley Wertheim, theAtlantic.com, Jan 10 2013              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
