Mapping Sequence performed during the STS-133 R-Bar Pitch Maneuver

ISS026-E-030085 (26 Feb. 2011) --- This view of the aft portion of the space shuttle Discovery, including the three main engines and part of the wings, was provided by an Expedition 26 crew member during a survey of the approaching STS-133 vehicle prior to docking with the International Space Station. As part of the survey and part of every mission's activities, Discovery performed a back-flip for the rendezvous pitch maneuver (RPM). The image was photographed with a digital still camera, using a 400mm lens at a distance of about 600 feet (180 meters).
