Visual Side Effects of Orbital Maneuvers | International Space Station

Expedition 73 astronaut Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA): This ". . . timelapse is a part of the movement when the ISS is performing an attitude change. Somehow, it has an atmosphere, like when setting off on a journey into deep space, and since it's sci-fi-like, please enjoy it! Being on the ISS, you can see many views that don't seem like reality, so I'm very happy."

In spaceflight, an orbital maneuver (otherwise known as a burn) is the use of propulsion systems to change the orbit of a spacecraft. When a spacecraft is not conducting a maneuver, especially in a transfer orbit, it is said to be coasting.
