Great shot of #Progress from Thomas Pesquet. He says, “Another cargo vessel leaving the mothership! The whole International Space Station, as massive and big as it is, was pitched 90 degrees to let the Russian Roscosmos State Corporation Progress go on Tuesday. The Station was moved to let the Progress depart at a higher and slower orbit, this way the spaceship will not interfere with our orbit and any risk of collision is averted. Really cool to watch it drift slowly away from us, with the city lights behind us, instead of below.”
