The camera also picked up the dust particles with the initial engine ignition and liftoff. Moreover, you can see the hot-staging and second-stage engine ignition spots.

Pettit was launched to the Space Station with Roscomos Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft on September 11, 2024. He is currently serving as a flight engineer and member of the Expedition 72 crew. He will spend about 6 months at the orbiting laboratory before returning to Earth.
