I remembered that a SPAS satellite similar to the one flown on STS-7 was flown on Discovery for STS-51. But going through Johnson Space Center's online picture gallery I'm coming up empty handed. When I do a Google search I find a <A HREF="http://image.absoluteastronomy.com/images/encyclopediaimages/1/19/1993_s51_imax_view_of_discovery_from_spas.jpg" TARGET=_blank>Discovery/SPAS image</A> but only 1000x1000 or so.<P>Does anybody have high resolution picture(s) of Discovery taken from the SPAS on STS-51? Does anybody know the NASA numbers for any of the SPAS/Discovery images?</FONT></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="sans-serif">OV-105</FONT></TD><TD><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="sans-serif">I think they only had an IMAX camera on the SPAS on STS-51. So you might be able to get some from Destiny In Space. They might have used some other shots in the IMAX movies that came out after also.</FONT></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="sans-serif">Jay Chladek</FONT></TD><TD><FONT SIZE="2" FACE="sans-serif">It didn't just have the IMAX as the SPAS was also shooting standard video as well (not sure about still photos).
