Space Shuttle
Space Shuttle replica Explorer (now Independence) is a full-scale, high-fidelity replica of the Space Shuttle. Explorer was displayed at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex atop cement pilings and secured with steel cabling. Visitor access was provided by a gantry-style tower with ramps and an elevator for accessibility. Inside, visitors could view a mock-up payload, a mannequin wearing an early model of the orange launch/entry pressure suit used by shuttle astronauts, and a mock cockpit with controls and instruments. Since moved to Space Center Houston and renamed 'Independence'
Taken a number of years ago with a Pentax Super A c/w Tamron 35-135mm AD2 lens on Agfa 200asa transparency film. Slide copied using a Nikon D300 and a 40mm F2.8 macro lens using a home made lightbox.
