Nasa astronaut shares striking footage of ISS ‘cartwheel’ around Earth
Nasa astronaut shares striking footage of ISS ‘cartwheel’ around Earth is drawing significant interest across the industry.
Nasa astronaut Zena Cardman has shared striking footage of the International Space Station (ISS) "cartwheeling" around Earth. The ISS performed the rare manoeuvre to allow for a reboost by the Spacex CRS-33. The space station orbits close enough to Earth that there is a small amount of atmospheric drag, and requires periodic reboosts as a result. The 60x speed timelapse shows the vessel perform an “orbital cartwheel”, as the American astronaut named it, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Zena Cardman said, "This was one of my favourites since it captures a little of everything - sunset, lightning storms, air glow, moon glint, stars, and sunrise."
Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.
More updates are expected as the story develops.
