Remark Photographer
OV-104 (cn OV-104) Full left side (including aft controls and overhead consoles) of the "alive" flight deck of "Atlantis". I stood on the ladder connecting the middeck to the flight deck to capture this view, seldom seen by the general public, showing her in all her glory-just as in space. A team of spacecraft technicians patiently worked with me to power the displays in flight configuration and adjust the lighting to make a quality image. My thanks to them! She was powered down for eternity not long after.

Bly me, what a sad picture! The Space shuttle undoubtedly ranks among the greatest achievements of humanity and is viable as a project (don't forget that the Russians built a working shuttle which laded on full automatic too). The direction to go should be improving the system, not canceling it!

Wonderful photo Suresh. It's so upsetting to me why the Space Shuttle program was scrapped, because it was a very important part of our history, and also now we have to rely on the Russians to send our astronauts to the Space Station!
