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.

Snidely was thinking very hard :

Here's noting that views from Dragon through the hatch during hatch opening were in black&white (B&W). Not sure what this says about how many cameras Dragon was using. /dps -- But happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. One must have a reason to 'be happy.'" Viktor Frankl |
