SPACE SHUTTLE PHOTOGRAPHS

In addition to the Regional Planetary Image Facility (RPIF) located at the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies (CEPS), and through cooperation with NASA's Johnson Space Center, CEPS acts as a space shuttle photograph repository. CEPS maintains an extensive collection of photographs taken by space shuttle astronauts using hand-held cameras as well as some radar imagery. The collection contains photographs from STS-41C to the present and is continually growing with each space shuttle mission. The CEPS collection of shuttle photography is available as a reference archive to researchers in the scientific community.
