 This photo was taken by Kathy Sullivan shortly before Challenger touched down at the Kennedy Space Center to conclude STS-41G in October 1984. Sullivan was seated on the middeck and aimed a 35mm camera through the porthole in Challenger's hatch. The photo shows (left to right) launch complexes 37, 34, 20, 19 and 16. Ed Hengeveld |

Must be on the downwind leg of the traffic pattern. Very cool shot, never seen that view before. Thanks!Tom

Ok now: she's flying due south, about 20 miles east of Missile Row, and rolling portside.Would a Shuttle luminati kindly figure out which phase of landing she's in? ------------------

That would be the "can we see gators" phase, as I like to technically call it!Adam |
