Earth observations during Space Shuttle mission STS-30The earth observations that were conducted during the STS-30 mission in May, 1989 are examined. An overview of the STS-30 mission is given, noting the launch of the Magellan spacecraft. The major positions of STS-30 photographs are illustrated and the sun elevation angles of the photographs and the types of films used during the mission are listed. Photographs of various regions are described, focusing on North Africa and the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, Central America, the Caribbean, and the Southern U.S. The use of the photographs for various research purposes is discussed, including oceanography, meteorology, and polarization experiments. Also, consideration is given to the use of video/camcorders for earth observations.
