From Expedition 65 flight engineer Oleg Novitskiy (via Twitter):
New photos of the International @Space_Station!

Yesterday [Sept. 28, 2021], we re-docked the Soyuz MS-18 manned spacecraft from the Rassvet module to the new Nauka module. All according to plan! We managed to take unique images of the ISS in the new configuration.

Amazing shots. Can't help but notice the radiator that appears torn? I wonder how that happened.

The damaged panel was first documented in 2008. The cause is still unknown but the panel was isolated and its ammonia coolant vented so it posed no immediate risk to the space station.

Does anyone feel pictures like this have been taken (or released) a lot less since the shuttle got retired, when fly-arounds happened routinely after undocking? It seems like quite a while since we got exterior views of the station regularly.

Stephen Clark (Spaceflight Now) is reporting that the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel has announced that the current Crew-2 will do a flyaround after undocking at the end of their mission.
An interesting note from the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel meeting: Panel member David West says SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft will do a 360-degree flyaround of the ISS after departing in early-mid November, the first 360-degree flyaround by a US crew craft since the shuttle.
