International Space Station shines in gorgeous fly-around photos by Crew Dragon astronauts
On Nov. 8, the Crew Dragon capsule Endeavour, carrying the four astronauts of SpaceX’s Crew-2 mission, departed the orbiting lab after a 6.5-month stay. Endeavour didn’t head directly home to Earth, however; it first performed a complete, 360-degree fly-around of the ISS, a maneuver not performed by a crewed spacecraft since NASA’s space shuttle fleet retired in 2011.
