The Expedition 12 crew photo is currently being printed so this photo is probably in printing as well... I would say probably within 3 to 4 weeks. |

When you look at the first version of the photo it looks like they photoshopped the name of the orbiter from Atlantis to Discovery.Ed PS. I initially didn't see it, but my friend Rolf Schoevaart noted this. |

So NASA still sends out pictures on request? I thought they didn't do that any more, due to the easy accessibility of crew pictures on the Internet?

Kennedy Space Center also send crew photos, nothing else... maybe a decal of the mission if it's the current one.I think the whole picture is another photoshop. The now current photo is brighter. Comparing both photos, the sky behind shuttle and at the nose level off into the distance is "exact same sky". Doesn't appear rather unique the photographer timed the same caption of day. |
