I think I read in the same period the ISS TLEs have been updated a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) The video in the previous post, from 0:26. Down from the center of screen, between the two white rectangles (radiator panels on top of the fuel tank pairs), a black overturned trapezoid and a white box below. The white box is one of two instances of DKS, the black trapezoid is its opened protective cover. The nozzle is looking up.
