Description:
|
|
The Greater Houston metropolitan area, completely clear of clouds, was captured on 70mm film by one of the STS-62 crew members aboard Columbia. The belt system on the north, east and south sides of the city can be traced in the frame, though not completed. The west belt is just out of frame on the left side. Houston Intercontinental Airport is at top center. The NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) and Nassau Bay can be traced inland from the portion of Galveston Bay in the lower right corner. Not only the dome proper of Harris County Domed Stadium is visible but so are two other structures in the Astrodome complex (left center), Astro Arena and Astrohall.
