About this work

ISS016-E-028420 (9 Feb. 2008) --- A low angle view of the nose and underside of the Space Shuttle Atlantis' crew cabin was provided by Expedition 16 crewmembers. Before docking with the International Space Station, astronaut Steve Frick, STS-122 commander, flew the shuttle through a roll pitch maneuver or basically a backflip to allow the space station crew a good view of Atlantis' heat shield.
