I’m so grateful this memory was captured! I was on console, and sent the commands to position the Solar Arrays in this picture. My job still amazes me to this day, it’s always an honor to prepare the space station for the arrival of crew 🚀
As we were about to dock into the ISS, I saw this amazing view from the window of the Soyuz, right next to my seat. I couldn't help but say 'Wow!' and I straight away took out my iPhone to take this photo.
I mean, isn't it amazing!? This is real!!!
There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.
The Zvezda service module transfer tunnel, known as PrK, has suffered from cracks and leaks for some time, and has been mitigated by Roscosmos as much as possible to date. The cracks have always been a concern that NASA watches very closely. NASA and Roscosmos have been working to determine the root cause of the cracks, and Roscosmos manages the issue through operational mitigation measures and periodic partial-repair efforts. Following new leaks, Roscosmos has elected to proceed with a more extensive repair operation on Friday, June 5. Out of an abundance of caution, NASA has directed all four of the agency's SpaceX Crew-12 members and NASA astronaut Chris Williams to assume an elevated safety posture in the Dragon spacecraft while the repair is underway. We continue to work with our Russian counterparts, along with the rest of the international community that supports the space station, to arrive at a more permanent resolution.
