New height of STS-122/ISS after Atlantis reboost shown here http://www.heavens-above.com/issheight.asp?
It is also possible to see from the graph that attitude changes to the docked stack (station keeping or waste dumps?) are designed to always increase the height of the ISS complex. -

According to the Execute Package, we are to expect a great set of 3D pictures coming soon, of both the Station as seen from outside and inside captions, with or without astronauts working, including the RS!
Actually, Schlegel is now talking with Oberpfaffenhoffen about this

Do we need special glasses While it would be nice for ESA to send those of us interested a 3D screen, I think you'll need green-red glasses
