Not sure where to place this (Historical or Manned). I've got a keen and unsightly interest in photography and history regarding the shuttle missions that deployed planetary science and astronomy spacecraft (Earth science missions included). Absolutely wish to avoid crewed/uncrewed debates, but any background or stories related to these missions would be vastly appreciated. As for the photography, high-resolution digital images of the processing, launches, and deployments of these spacecraft that are currently unavailable...post em' here if you can.
I consider photos of Galileo and Ulysses in the stowed positions to be the Unholy Grails of this peculiar fixation. ( a gentleman who ran a site devoted to obscure payload bay imagery stated that he thought Ulysses pics were in short supply because of that prominent jet-black RTG sticking up like a certain colloquial social gesture). I've found the STS-93 Chandra mission to be the easiest to find satisfying digital coverage of. Yet another series of posters begins with the Chandra and Galileo missions. -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...
