STS-127 - Rotational Pitch Maneuver (RPM) - Flight Day 3

Space Shuttle Endeavour is arriving at the International Space Station. Before docking, a routine backflip is performed by the crew inside the Shuttle. This is to allow high resolution cameras inside the International Space Station to successfully document the belly of Endeavour. This will aid the DAT [Data Analysis Team] to clear Endeavour's thermal protection system for entry on July 31st, 2009.
