Inventor of the ISS-Above - the little gadget that lights up whenever the International Space Station is around - and shows live views of the earth from space.

I had forgotten I have a little old @Raspberry_Pi beside my desk creating timelapse videos of the ISS Live stream. It created this little masterpiece of the start of the #Nauka shenanigans yesterday. More info to follow /1 @Raspberry_Pi As far as I can see this seems to show the station completely flipped over during the emergency. Camera starts the view is facing nadir - lifts up - you see the limb of the earth on right side - a short signal loss - then when back you see earth now on LEFT side. /2

The @Space_Station Solar Array Alpha Rotary Joint(s) - SARJ - remain parked after the #NAUKA anomaly. I am guessing some very careful inspection needs to happen before they are unparked. Image SARJ are parked prior to spacecraft docking/undocking and usually return to normal operation soon after. The individual solar array sections separately rotate to provide some sun-tracking but they are also parked a little closer to the dock/undock. /2

With #Nauka dock scheduled for 9:24 AM EDT - based on the #Pirs undocking telemetry, we should see SARJ lock at 7:29 AM and Pitch Up beginning 8:19 AM. Will find out soon! Alas, that means pitch up will be in ISS eclipse so we won't see that happening @Space_Station. I'm sure the priority is to have #Nauka dock during @Space_Station daylight and 9:24 AM EDT is about 7 minutes before eclipse - so that makes sense.
