They usually release full video afterwards, there are also usually videos from nearby vessels or helis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems it’s almost always stable during an earth landing (so to speak) but rockey when out at sea for obvious reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating listening to the conversations about approach and docking and the preciseness needed. About 200m out from the ISS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
