The Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver. Space Shuttle Discovery, under control of Commander Rick Sturckow, performs a 360 degree back flip in close proximity to the International Space Station. This is done to allow members of the station crew to take pictures of the shuttle's thermal protection system to downlink to earth for damage analysis. This has been a routine procedure since the space shuttle return to flight with the STS-114 mission.
