Obviously - the KSC website is the place to go for anything modern...a lot of modern spacecraft have a 'press day' before they fly and that's usually in a config that's near if not identical to the flight config.
I have some Beagle 2 pics from a book I have that I'll scan, as imagery of that isn't too thick on the ground. Doug |

Greg,
I have been collecting NASA photos since the early 1970s and have a large collection of original NASA-photos showing spacecraft being tested & assembled ... I'm in the proces of scanning all photos in high-resolution so I could offer a CD-ROM for those at UMSF who're interested... Price will just cover costs + shipping

Bob, that would be a good idea ... My price for the double CD-ROM is just US $ 20.00 (worldwide shipping included) and all photos are in High-resolution (300 DPI) so these can be used for good quality prints or in articles...
I could even do an extra CD-ROM-set with launch-vehicles... Anyone interested, send me a message

Throw in some steak knives and we have a deal!
 But maybe we can use the power of teh internets - would it be possible to do a Nostalgic Spacecraft Pic of the Day like APOD? -------------------- Lyford Rome

The image attached at the first post of this (interesting) topic is a typical example of a 'bad' photograph, although for the Soviet-Russian unmanned spacecraft, it's difficult to find something High-resolution other than TASS photos, which are mostly 'enhanced'
 To prove my point about the difficulty to find High-resolution photos, just try to find a good color image of the Voyager 1 & 2 spacecraft being assembled or being prepared for launch ! ...

I've found these images of Voyager on the web:

Doug, what's the limit on image size here for attachments? Didn't find the answer in the HELP topics, sorry ...

This is a great idea. Dave William's site at NSSDC has a lot of photos, and a few years ago I sent him a lot of Soviet spacecraft images, which are posted there now. Some, like the Sky & Telescope picture of the Venera-13 lander that you see there and everywhere is actaully a horrible model. I have a closer picture form another angle, and the thing looks like it was made from paper mache and aluminum foil. So it is a problem to find actual spacecrafts.
Mission Chronology Phil, do you have some good photos of Pioneer-5? I'd love to find a nice copy of this photo: [attachment=5884:attachment] |

Philip: The board seems to let you upload 1Mb in total. As posts in a thread are now aggregated, you can't just post another message at once with another picture - you have to wait a bit. But, fair enough - you can always post a link to an image hosting site. Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

Attachment's are the actual limiting factor for hosting - we're nearly at the 1gb level as it is and purely for long term sustainability, I have to keep a tight rope on them. Doug |

Doug, I'm curious.
How much attachment total budget for each member? It is possible to know personal amount and remaining space? -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
