Looking over one of my scrapbooks I was wondering about the creativity of different crew photos. My favorite is STS-39 with the guys standing in the cloud of dry ice with the horizon behind them. My second favorite is the STS-112 with the crew standing on their emblem. Both of those stand apart from the typical studio type pose.What do the rest of you think? Which is your favorite and why?

I always thought the STS-51I (20th Mission)
crew photo was pretty unique.[This message has been edited by Tom (edited May 07, 2006).] |

My vote .... I'd have to split it between STS 36, STS 42 and STS 49.All external to the traditional studio shots ... my favourite would probably be STS 36. |

STS-39 is definitely a great crew photo. Attended a talk Bluford gave a few years ago at Univ. Houston- Clear Lake. He was getting ready to have back surgery in time to make that flight. He was sitting off to the side in a chair while the crew photo logistics was being worked out. When the signal was given that everyone was posed and they were ready for him he managed to stand up long enough to get that shot. |

Out of the regular studios 41-D or 51-A. I liked the model of the ship Dicovery and how they had the solar wing on the shuttle. You got to love the eagle on 51-A. STS-50 the only real crew photo with their ship. |

Good post Tim,STS-39 is a cool photo with the dry ice (no pun intended).
STS-110 and 111 are good with ISS and Earth in the background, But my favourite is the alternative crew photo of STS-95 with Glenn and the crew posing like the Mercury 7 astronauts, The original pose of the M7 astronauts in there MSS IMO is a classic photo.

STS 6 'F Troop' alternative is neat, with the astronauts dressed in cavalry uniform.
Sometimes you see a signed copy with Story getting into the mood by signing as Sgt Story Musgrave! |

Funny thing about the STS-49 crew pic is that is a pic of Endeavour on the day she was rolled out. Rick Hieb was in orbit on the STS-39 flight on the day of the roll out. |

I'm going to go out on the limb and say that one of my favorite crew photos is the Expedition Three photo. I like the way they incorporated part of the patch design into the photo. NASA's had some cool layout backgrounds with the ISS Expedition crews. Should be interesting once 3-person crews return. |

The best photo I think is STS-41 with the
T-38The STS-92 funny photo (crew with Austin Powers) is also a great photo... -- Jacques

The crew was PhotoShopped into the photo of Endeavour. And a detail about the STS-36 crew photo: that is actually Discovery on the launch pad, photographed one day prior to the STS-33 launch. Much like the Apollo-9 crew photo, which has Apollo-8 in the background on the pad. My favorite crew photo is the STS-61C crew with the closed helmet visors! Ed Hengeveld |

That is the nice thing about the 49 crew photo it is hard to tell it is PhotoShopped. When I got to meet Pierre Thuot he asked me what was wrong with the photo? I told him it was taken at the roll out and that Rick Hieb wasn't there. We had a good laugh. STS-42 is another good PhotoShoppe. |

STS-79... is Shannon Lucid photoshop into the picture? Her face appears as there is more light focus on her.compare with her face tone on STS-76 how far advance are the crew photos taken before their assign mission? |

Hey Bryan-Thanks dude. When I started this thread I had in mind only the "official" crew photos. But I seen some interesting references, like the STS-107 crew sts107fan mentions. I'd like to see that one. For "unofficial" photos- one of the best is the STS-95 crew in National Geographic magazine. I'll keep swinging at those patches-hope y'all like them. Tim |
