ISS - HTV-6 still berthed to ISS and gone

Posted by: Szabolcs Nagy Comments:0

Weather was bad, I mean unpredictable, miserable and most importantly cloudy. Cloud movement made it impossible to predict if it will be clear or not during the flyby. But I really could not care more, I had so little amount of opportunities back then due bad weather I had to go for it. Here is a timelapse video I took…

The result was very important, because HTV-6 cargo spacecraft was gone. How do I know that? Well apart from the news on various related websites I took photos of ISS (and HTV-6) a few weeks/months. Here is a comparison.
