Orbital Sunrise

Title	Orbital Sunrise
Full Description	The STS-68 crew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour told a post-flight audience at JSC that this sunrise was one of the most scenic sunrises/ sunsets witnessed during the week and a half long Space Radar Laboratory (SRL-2) mission. Jutting clouds, back-lit by the dawn colors, are sandwiched between the blue airglow and the silhouetted horizon of Earth.

Aurora Astern

Title	Aurora Astern
Explanation	Sailing [ http://freespace.virgin.net/chris.jones/ccsu1.htm ] upside down, 115 nautical miles [ http://www.seewise.com/or/faqtxt/a3.html ] above Earth, the crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavour [ http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/ endeavour.html ] made this spectacular time exposure of the southern aurora (aurora australis) in October of 1994. Aurora [ http://www.geo.mtu.edu/weather/aurora/ ], also known as the northern and southern lights, appear as luminous bands or streamers of light which can extend to altitudes of 200 miles. They are typically visible from the Earth's surface at high latitudes and are triggered by high energy particles from the Sun [ http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/ y2000/ast07jun_1m.htm ]. The delicate colors are caused by energetic electrons colliding with oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the upper atmosphere. In this picture [ http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/images/pao/ STS68/20169118.htm ], the rear structure of the shuttle Endeavour is in the foreground with the vertical tail fin pointed toward Earth. Star trails [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000715.html ] are the short streaks above Earth's horizon.

Orbiting Repairmen

Title	Orbiting Repairmen
Explanation	In December of 1993 astronauts Story Musgrave [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/musgrave.html ] and Jeffrey Hoffman [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/hoffman.html ] performed the orbiting repairmans' ballet 400 miles above the Earth. They are seen in this photo perched at the end of the Space Shuttle Endeavour [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950807.html ]'s robotic arm making final repairs to the four story tall Hubble Space Telescope [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950810.html ]. The coast line of western Australia is visible below. The complex and highly successful repair mission [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap951116.html ] allowed HST to see into the Universe with unprecedented clarity.

Mir Above

Title	Mir Above
Explanation	Photographed from [ http://shuttle-mir.nasa.gov/shuttle-mir/photos/sts89/ esc/Flightday09/ ] the approaching Space Shuttle Endeavour [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap961130.html ], the Mir space station floats above the clouds of planet Earth. Mir's modular construction [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/osf/mir/ ], bristling with solar panels and antennas, lends it a slightly whimsical [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap960603.html ], insect-like appearance. Astronaut Andrew Thomas [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/thomas-a.html ] was dropped off at Mir by Endeavour in January and recently picked up by the Space Shuttle Discovery during STS-91 [ http://www.imoc.com/sts-91/ ], the ninth and last Mir docking mission. Thomas' 4 1/2 month stay culminates the shuttle-Mir program [ http://shuttle-mir.nasa.gov/shuttle-mir/ ] in which seven U.S. astronauts spent a total of 977 days with Russian crews on board Mir. The experience gained will be applied toward the construction [ http://station.nasa.gov/reference/factsheets/index.html#firstflights ] of the International Space Station [ http://station.nasa.gov/ ] scheduled to begin with launches in November and December 1998 [ http://station.nasa.gov/news/pressrel/ksc66-98.html ].

JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON, TEXAS - (STS113-S-001 September 2002) -- This is the crew patch for the STS-113 mission, which will be the 11th American (11A) assembly flight to the International Space Station (ISS). The primary mission will be to take the Expedition Six crew to the ISS and return the Expedition Five crew to Earth. STS-113 will be the first flight in the assembly sequence to install a major component in addition to performing a crew exchange. The Port 1 Integrated Truss Assembly (P1) will be the first truss segment on the left side of the ISS. P1 will provide an additinal three External Thermal Control System radiators, adding to the three radiators on the Starboard 1 (S1) Integrated Truss Assembly. The installation and outfitting of P1 will require three extravehicular activities (spacewalks) as well as coordination between the Shuttle Robotic Manipulator System and the Space Station Robotic Manipulator System. The patch depicts the Space Shuttle Endeavour docked to the ISS during the installation of the P1 truss withthe gold astronaut symbol in the background. The seven stars at the top left center of the patch are the seven brightest stars in the constellation Orion. They represent the combined seven crew members (four Shuttle and three Expedition Six). The three stars to the right of the astronaut symbol represent the returning Expedition Five crew members. The Roman Numeral CXIII represents the mission number 113. The NASA insignia design for Shuttle space flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which is not anticipated, such will be publicly announced.

Title	STS-54 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, crew insignia
Description	STS-54 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, crew insignia (logo), the Official insignia of the NASA STS-54 mission, depicts the American bald eagle soaring above Earth and is emblematic of Space Shuttle Endeavour in service to the United States and the world. The eagle is clutching an eight-pointed star in its talons and is placing this larger star among a constellation of four others, representing the placement of the fifth Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) into orbit to join the four already in service. The blackness of space -- with stars conspicuously absent -- represents the crew's other primary mission in carrying the Diffuse X-Ray Spectrometer to orbit to conduct astronomical observations of invisible x-ray sources within the Milky Way Galaxy. The depiction of the Earth showing North America is an expression of the crewmembers and NASA's intention that the medical and scientific experiments conducted onboard be for the benefit of mankind.

The area shown is approximately 8 kilometers by 40 kilometers (5 by 25 miles). At the top of the image are the Solimoes and Rio Negro River. The image is centered at about 3 degrees south latitude, and 61 degrees west longitude. Blue areas show low returns at VV poloarization, hence the bright blue colors of the smooth river surfaces. Green areas in the image are heavily forested, while blue areas are either cleared forest or open water. The yellow and red areas are flooded forest. Between Rio Solimoes and Rio Negro, a road can be seen running from some cleared areas (visible as blue rectangles north of Rio Solimoes) north toward a tributary or Rio Negro.
