STS 115 - SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS RENDEZVOUS PITCH MANEUVER
Before docking, Commander Brent Jett and Pilot Chris Ferguson commanded Atlantis to do a back flip maneuver, which allowed the Expedition 13 crew to photograph Atlantis' heat shield. Those pictures will be downlinked to engineers on the ground for analysis.
