Sights to See on Orbital Maneuvers | International Space Station

Former Expedition 74 flight engineer Zena Cardman and NASA astronaut: "The International Space Station rarely makes big changes to its orientation, but we were lucky to experience such maneuvers (flipping around to fly butt-first, then flipping back again) before and after each SpaceX CRS-33 reboost. This 60x speed timelapse was one of my favorites since it captures a little of everything—sunset, lightning storms, air glow, moon glint, stars, and sunrise—as we did one (actually very slow) orbital cartwheel from Atlantic to Pacific."
