Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1989. I had an old Pentax K-1000 with a super cheap long 500mm lens for this shot. I would love to find the negative as this is a scan of a 5x7” print.
The primary payload, Galileo/Jupiter spacecraft and attached Inertial Upper Stage (IUS), was deployed six hours, 30 minutes into the flight. IUS stages fired, placing Galileo on trajectory for six-year trip to Jupiter via gravitational boosts from Venus and Earth and possible observational brushes with asteroids Gaspra and Ida. Secondary payloads included Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SSBUV) experiment carried in cargo bay, and in crew cabin, Growth Hormone Crystal Distribution (GHCD); Polymer Morphology (PM), Sensor Technology Experiment (STEX); Mesoscale Lightning Experiment (MLE); IMAX camera; Shuttle Student Involvement Program (SSIP) experiment that investigated ice crystal formation in zero gravity; and ground-based Air Force Maui Optical Site (AMOS) experiment.
The Space Shuttle Atlantis returns to Earth after mission STS-30 landing at Edwards Air Force Base, CA, at 3:43:38 EDT on May 8, 1989. The orbiter Atlantis was launched from Kennedy Space Center May 4, 1989 at 2:46:59 p.m. EDT carrying into low Earth orbit the spacecraft Magellan. It was Atlantis' fourth shuttle mission. Approximately six hours after launch, Magellan was deployed from the Atlantis payload bay beginning its 15 month long journey to the planet Venus. Crew members of STS-30 were: Commander David M. Walker; Pilot Ronald J. Grabe; and Mission Specialists Mark C. Lee, Norman E. Thagard, and Mary L. Cleave.

“Artist Concept - Shuttle de-orbit prior to wheels down.”
The above is a slight variation of the official NASA caption for the ‘wheels down’ version of the image, hence the minimalism.
I’m sure of Rockwell Int'l origination. In fact, the low resolution black & white photo of Sol Dember in his home studio, at the following link:

Credit: "Simi Valley Acorn" newspaper online website
appears to show this work, or the below linked, at the upper left border of the image. Mr. Dember was a long-time premier artist employed by NAA/Rocketdyne, NAR & Rockwell International.
Although the photo was obviously used for press purposes, I’m sure it was originally of either Rockwell Int’l and/or NASA origin. It’s weight/feel are commensurate with such, so, along with the time-frame, confirmed by the stamped date, I don’t know what the “VELOX” stamp is about. Maybe some sort of remnant/legacy newspaper publication identification WRT black & white photos of yore.
This was its first pass, over Berkeley/Emeryville/Oakland, view from Grizzly Peak Blvd near Tilden Park.

Our flight from Baltimore to Ft Meyers put us 70 miles west of the Kennedy
Space Center on November 16th, and at the exact time of the launch of the
STS-129 Space Shuttle.
Captain John Goslink called me to bring my camera to the cockpit and get photos of the event, my very first shuttle launch. What a thrill to be at 36,000 feet to see this spectacle! We saw the engines ignite, lighting up like a huge fireball, then watched as the shuttle soared through the cloud layers and speed into the blackness of space. It made its twisting turn right about our altitude...then disappeared into space.

taken at Kennedy Space Center......l think the astronauts were very brave people . but the risk of something going wrong would not be worth taking a chance for me to have a go......l feel so sorry for the families and friends of the astronauts that were killed
STS-125 Mission Specialist 3 (MS3) John Grunsfeld, positioned on a foot restraint on the end of Atlantis' Remote Manipulator System (RMS), and MS5 Andrew Feustel participate in the mission's fifth and final session of extravehicular activity (EVA5) as work continued to refurbish and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope. During the seven-hour and two-minute spacewalk, Grunsfeld and Feustel installed a replacement battery module, removed and replaced a Fine Guidance Sensor, and installed three thermal blankets (NOBLs) that protect Hubble's electronics.

This image illustrates NASA's Multifunction Electronic Display Subsystem (MEDS), otherwise known as "glass cockpit." It represents a number of important modifications that have been accomplished on the Orbiter's flight deck. This photo is actually a recent one of the fixed base Space Shuttle mission simulator in the Johnson Space Center's (JSC) Mission Simulation and Training Facility. The fixed base simulator has been outfitted with MEDS to be used by flight crews for training. The Space Shuttle Atlantis is the only Orbiter so far outfitted with MEDS and will fly with the new display system for the first time late this year on STS-101. All of the Orbiters will eventually be outfitted with the new system, which enhances safety on the Orbiter by providing multiple backup display functions and brings the Space Shuttle cockpit displays up to date with technology that is now common in many commercial airliners.

Space Shuttle Columbia being ferried back to Kennedy Space Center on 2001-Mar-5. This was as it passed over Tallahasee FL after Columbia was refurbished in California. Unfortunately, Columbia disintegrated during re-entry less than 2 years later. These photos were shot with hand held 500mm lens, hence the motion blur.

The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft transporting space shuttle Discovery to its new home departs from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 7 a.m. EDT accompanied by a T-38 jet. The duo are heading south to fly over Brevard County’s beach communities for residents to get a look at the shuttle before it leaves the Space Coast for the last time. The aircraft, known as an SCA, is a Boeing 747 jet, originally manufactured for commercial use, which was modified by NASA to transport the shuttles between destinations on Earth. This SCA, designated NASA 905, is assigned to the remaining ferry missions, delivering the shuttles to their permanent public display sites. NASA 905 is scheduled to ferry Discovery to the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia today, after which the shuttle will be placed on display in the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. For more information on the SCA, visit www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/news/FactSheets/FS-013-DFRC.html.

I feel a bit sad when I see an image like this. It reminds me that we have come to the end of an era for space exploration. But more importantly, it is another example of how we are losing our technology leadership in the world. From now on, we will pay Russia for rides into space on their launch vehicles.
This last shuttle flight would have been a major news story 20 years ago, but it was barely mentioned amid the usual wash of dumbed-down national "news" stories which tends to focus on celebrity news and baby stories. Image courtesy NASA.
NASA Shuttle Bus- April 30th, 2014-
We live right outside of NASA here in Houston, They retired the 747 used to ferry the Space Shuttles after their flights. They retired the Jumbo Bus and hauled it in pieces to its final resting spot at the Space Museum on the NASA Grounds. They had to move all the pieces at night and it came right by my neighborhood last night! What an event They had everything shut down! It as quite a sight. It was stopped here for 30 minutes while utility companies moved overhead wires at an upcoming intersection, making for a great photo-op!

My flickr contact Grant and I had lunch on June 10, 2016 at the historic Bomber Restaurant in Ypsilanti, Michigan (good food). The Bomber's name relates to World War II, when workers from the nearby Willow Run B-24 Liberator Bomber plant would frequent the restaurant. Today, numerous model airplanes hang from the ceiling, such as the Space Shuttle and its transporter seen here.

...making her way up the Hudson on June 6th.
I uploaded a video to YouTube this morning which contains her trip up the river and transfer from the barge to USS Intrepid so if you have 21 1/2 minutes to kill click below!!
This image, taken by Van Wideman, shows a group of skydivers making a jump with the Space Shuttle Discovery launching in the background-- and it was on April 24, 1990, when Discovery took the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit!
