minus-squareStarfighter@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·15 days agoWouldn’t it be much more efficient to have the trunk face retrograde? The video appears to show a radial in burn.
minus-squarethreelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.worksOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 days agoYeah, 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. https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/iss-08-25-25.png https://www.nasa.gov/international-space-station/space-station-visiting-vehicles/ This video from sen shows more of C211, but not the rest the station.
