As for the view from the station, he said: "Now we're in a particularly tough orbit, just a timing thing. So what sure what we want to capture happens to be at night when we fly over it which is not great, obviously."
He added: "We have a few more days up here yet. So hopefully as the days move on, that sunlit pattern moves gradually to the west."
On how the crew is doing during their two-week stay, including Gezeravcı, Lopez-Alegria praised their performance, saying: "I'm pretty impressed with how quickly they've adapted."
It's (a) pretty unique environment to try, and I don't mean just adapting to zero gravity," he explained. "It's been busy, but I think it's been really good so far."
