REBOOST: At ~18:15 UTC, Dragon C211 performed its first reboost of the ISS. The burn ended on schedule.
Wouldn’t it be much more efficient to have the trunk face retrograde?
The video appears to show a radial in burn.
Yeah, the camera angle is a bit confusing, given that the Dragon which is front-and-centre in the video is not the Dragon doing the boosting.
The Dragon we can see clearly is C206 Endeavour for Crew-11, and it is docked to the zenith port of the Harmony module.
There is a second Dragon (C211 for CRS-33) docked to the forward port of the Harmony module. It is mostly hidden in the above video, but you can see a bit of its nosecone sticking out from behind the Kibō module.

This video from sen shows more of C211, but not the rest the station.
Thank you for this excellent explanation.
I knew that they could dock two dragons but the video’s framing appeared to intentionally highlight the dragon in question.
