Mapping Sequence performed during the STS-134 R-Bar Pitch Maneuver

ISS027-E-032255 (18 May 2011) --- This view of the nose and the forward underside of the space shuttle Endeavour was provided by an Expedition 27 crew member during a survey of the approaching STS-134 vehicle prior to docking with the International Space Station. As part of the survey and part of every mission's activities, Endeavour 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).
