Piloted by Space Shuttle commander Chris Ferguson, Atlantis moves through a 360-degree rotation directly beneath the International Space Station. This rotation, known as the RBAR Pitch Maneuver (RPM), enables the occupants of the ISS to photograph Atlantis' Thermal Protection System for engineers on the ground to check for any damage to the heat resistant tiles.

    Of course not! There's no gravity. Every direction feels the same to them. The only indication would be the scenery changing in the window.

  • Stupid question, but do the astronauts feel like they are going upside down when the shuttle flips over? Sorry...

  • @KINGPissedALoT It can't fall... there's no gravity :)
