This is one of the most amazing things you can see at night - the ISS being followed by the space shuttle. It's almost unreal, staring up and seeing these two glide by in total silence.
After the moon, the space station is now the brightest object in the night sky. If its orbit passes within a few hundred kilometres of your position then it can be seen after sunset, still lit by the sun.
This shot was taken a day after Discovery's undocking, with the shuttle trailing the space station by about 50 seconds and 400km. In another 24 hours Discovery will have landed for the last time while Endeavour and Atlantis each have one more flight.
Tonight the International Space Station, and the Hubble Space Telescope passed overhead.
Unfortunately the Hubble was too faint to pick up on a fisheye lens, but the ISS was bright enough.
This is a 9 shot composite image showing the ISS on a static sky, with the ground corrected from the original fisheye look.
The gaps are the moments between frames as I was manually pressing the shutter and the ISS moves pretty quickly.
Sometimes you must go there, where no law exists.

there is one very strong connection between my characters commander kylie shepard of mass effect and commander kyle of second life: they both drink a lot. a great deal of sl rp time is spent hanging out in bars (its a good place for people to congregate), and in mass effect kylie shepard has been to all the bars in the galaxy (well, all they show) on ilium, the citadel, and omega. she has had the mystery drink from the asari matriarch, almost been poisoned by a human-hating batarian, and had that krogan drink that knocks you out.
and, as with my sl character, the mass effect kylie knocks them back in one gulp. lol.
in this pic, she is drinking on the normandy, in the crew area where katsumi stays.
in the normandy crew bar there are two drinks: blue and red. the significance is that these are the colors for the two ethical/moral stances you can take: paragon (like good) and renegade (like bad). i don't think any thing happens if you drink the 'wrong' one, but, kylie drinks the blue.
i have been playing her mainly paragon, although you can't simply do one or the other. sometimes its obvious (i.e., do you tell the merc to 'get lost' or push him out a window to fall 300 meters?), and sometimes its not (on Tali's mission, at first i was proding her to fight the geth so that quarians could retake their homeworld, which is renegade... although i later, changed that position.) in both cases i was just playing the character and not worrying (well, not too much) about the gameplay consequences.
the one time i deliberately chose renegade was the mission to help Thane's son. some slimeball was in an interrogation room and kylie just beat the shit out him to get the information. (although, she does not condone this - on the prison ship Purgatory she stopped the beating of a random prisoner). for thane's son, it was too personal.
on Jacob's loyalty mission, i was sorely tempted to let him shoot Capt. Taylor. in fact, i should have done that, i didn't only for gameplay reason - i wanted more paragon points.
this picture was taken before the attack on the collector ship to obtain the iff for the omega 4 relay, but the best time for drinking - from a story point of view - was right after a mini-mission to stop a pair of batarian missiles which were headed for a human colony. at the end - and much to my surprise - you can defeat the terrorists but only stop one of the missiles. so you have to choose which set of humans are going to be killed. yeah, yeah, its only a game, and i'm not losing sleep about it in real life. but, at the time, right after that choice kylie needed a drink... or four.
(and yes, i know, from the picture it looks like she has a 'drinking problem' but i didn't want to spend an hour just edit the liquid to be on the correct side of the glass.)
SL3-88-004 (July-September 1973) --- A vertical view of the Salinas River Valley area south of Monterey Bay, California area is seen in this Skylab 3 Earth Resources Experiments Package S190-B (five-inch Earth terrain camera) photograph taken from the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. The valley is an irrigated agricultural area, and is indicated by the dark-green and light-gray rectangular patterns in the centre of the picture. The city of Salinas is barely visible under the cloud cover at the top (north) end of the valley. The dark mass on the left (west) side of the valley is the Santa Lucia mountain range. The Big Sur area is on the left and partly covered by clouds. The Diablo Range forms the dark mass in the lower right (southeast) corner of the photograph. The town of Hollister is the gray area in the dark-green rectangular farm tracts which occupy the floor of the San Benito Valley in the upper right (northeast) corner of the photograph. The Salinas River flows northwestward toward Monterey Bay. The towns of Soledad, Greenfield and King City appear as gray areas along U.S. 101 in the Salinas Valley. The geology of the area is complex, and has been racked by several earthquakes resulting from movement along the San Andreas and subsidiary faults. Here, the surface expression of the San Andreas Fault can be traced from a point just west of Hollister at the contrast of dark brown and tan to a point about one inch left of the lower right (southeast) corner of the picture. Subsidiary faults are indicated by the curving trend of the rocks along the right side. The photograph will provide detailed information on land use patterns (Dr. R. Colwell, University of California, Berkeley) and fault tectonics (Dr. P. Merifield, Earth Science Res., Inc. and Dr. M. Abdel-Gawad, Rockwell International). Federal agencies participating with NASA on the EREP project are the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers. All EREP photography is available to the public through the Department of Interior's Earth Resources Observations Systems Data Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 57198. Photo credit: NASA
On October, 25 two Japanese guys passed the training on Egress-2 simulator. This unique training in Orlan spacesuits enables the cosmonauts to practice further extravehicular activities. Special systems simulate support-free condition thus participants of the training feel like real cosmonauts performing a spacewalk.
Наши гости из Японии 25 октября прошли тренировку в ЦПК на тренажере Выход-2. Эта уникальная тренировка с использованием скафандров Орлан позволяет космонавтам отрабатывать предстоящие операции в открытом космосе. Системы тренажера имитируют безопорное состояние, таким образом, создается впечатление, будто участники тренировки работают в открытом космосе, а это действительно невероятные ощущения.

S72-47794 (March 1972) --- Skylab, a 100-ton manned orbital scientific space station, is scheduled to be launched and placed in near-Earth orbit early in 1973. The program's nine prime crewmen, selected for the three manned Skylab missions, are pictured with an artist's concept of a completely deployed cluster of the Skylab components in Earth orbit. The first Skylab mission will launch and place in orbit the hardware shown here with the exception of the Apollo-type spacecraft docked at left end. The Command and Service Modules (CSM) will on three occasions in a projected eight-month period go up and dock with the Skylab cluster, thus transporting a fresh crew of three astronauts to conduct several weeks of experimenting and observations. Those manned missions will be known as Skylabs II, III and IV. They have as their crewmen the following astronauts: Skylab II -- Charles Conrad Jr., commander; Joseph P. Kerwin, science pilot; and Paul J. Weitz, pilot. Skylab III -- Alan L. Bean, commander; Owen K. Garriot, science pilot; and Jack R. Lousma, pilot. Skylab IV -- Gerald P. Carr, commander; Edward G. Gibson, science pilot; and William R. Pogue, pilot. Photo credit: NASA

Inside the Space Station Processing Facility high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer, or NICER, payload is secured inside a protective container and loaded onto a truck outside the high bay. NICER will be delivered to the International Space Station aboard the SpaceX Dragon cargo carrier on the company’s 11th commercial resupply services mission to the space station. NICER will study neutron stars through soft X-ray timing. NICER will enable rotation-resolved spectroscopy of the thermal and non-thermal emissions of neutron stars in the soft X-ray band with unprecedented sensitivity, probing interior structure, the origins of dynamic phenomena and the mechanisms that underlie the most powerful cosmic particle accelerators known.

The Materials International Space Station Experiment-Flight Facility, or MISSE-FF, hardware arrived at the Space Station Processing Facility low bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. MISSE will be unpacked for integration and processing. MISSE will be used to test various materials and computing elements on the exterior of the space station. They will be exposed to the harsh environment of low-Earth orbit, including to a vacuum, atomic oxygen, ultraviolet radiation, direct sunlight and extreme heat and cold. The experiment will provide a better understanding of material durability, from coatings to electronic sensors, which could be applied to future spacecraft designs. MISSE will be delivered to the space station on a future commercial resupply mission. Photo credit: NASA/Leif Heimbold

S73-23952 (May 1973) --- This is the official emblem for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Skylab Program. The emblem depicts the United States Skylab space station cluster in Earth orbit with the sun in the background. Skylab will evaluate systems and techniques designed to gather information on Earth resources and environmental problems. Solar telescopes will increase man's knowledge of our sun and the multitude of solar influences on Earth environment. Medical experiments will increase knowledge of man himself and his relationship to his earthly environment and adaptability to spaceflight. Additionally, Skylab will experiment with industrial processes which may be enhanced by the unique weightless, vacuum environment of orbital spaceflight. The 100-ton laboratory complex Skylab space station is composed of the Command/Service Module (CSM), Orbital Workshop (OW), Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM), Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA), and Airlock Module (AM).
The NASA insignia design for Skylab is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which we do not anticipate, it will be publicly announced.

Kennedy Space Center’s Carolina Franco, Ph.D., left, and Jason Fischer collect samples from a water tank, filled with green dye, for a biological study in the Florida spaceport’s Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building on Nov. 13, 2019. Two tanks have recently returned to Kennedy after spending the last five years on the International Space Station for an experiment to study slosh, or the movement of water, in a zero-gravity environment to help engineers predict the movement of propellant in rocket tanks. Kennedy’s Air and Water Revitalization lab is studying the water tanks to determine if there is, or was, any microbial growth within them. The results will help NASA determine whether clean water can be stored in space for long-duration missions, an essential component to keeping astronauts safe and healthy as the agency prepares for missions to the Moon and beyond to Mars.

“Space Operations Center
American manned space station. Study 1979. The Space Operations Center was proposed by NASA's Johnson Spaceflight Center in 1979.
Status: Study 1979.
Like most other space station studies from the mid/late 1970s its primary mission was the assembly and servicing of large spacecraft in Earth orbit -- not science. NASA/JSC signed a contract with Boeing in 1980 to further develop the design. Like most NASA space station plans, SOC would be assembled in orbit from modules launched on the Space Shuttle. The crew's tour of duty would have been 90 days. NASA originally estimated the total cost to be $2.7 billion, but the estimated cost had increased to $4.7 billion by 1981. SOC would have been operational by 1990.
NASA's Johnson Spaceflight Center extended the Boeing contract in February 1982 to study a cheaper, modular, evolutionary approach to assembling the Space Operations Center. An initial power module would consist of solar arrays and radiators. The next launches would have delivered a space tug 'garage', two pressurized crew modules and a logistics module. The completed Space Operations Center also would have contained a satellite servicing and assembly facility and several laboratory modules. Even with this revised approach, however, the cost of the SOC program had grown to $9 billion. Another problem was Space Operations Center's primary mission: spacecraft assembly and servicing. The likely users (commercial satellite operators and telecommunications companies) were not really interested in the kind of large geostationary space platforms proposed by NASA. By 1983, the only enthusiastic users for NASA's space station plans were scientists working in the fields of microgravity research and life sciences. Their needs would dictate future space station design although NASA's 1984 station plans did incorporate a SOC-type spacecraft servicing facility as well.”

Take a closer look at this, it’s exquisite, the perspective, the detail, the lighting/shading, etc., etc., right down to the "NO STEP" on the inboard elevon, which I don't think actually existed, but who cares, right?!? Houston/Galveston Bay are just above the orbiter.

SL3-83-166 (July-September 1973) --- A vertical view of the Washington D.C. and the Baltimore, Maryland area is seen in the Skylab 3 Earth Resources Experiments Package S190-B (five-inch Earth terrain camera) photograph taken from the Skylab space station in Earth orbit. The Chesapeake Bay is on the right (east) side of the picture. The Potomac River flows through the Washington area in the lower left (southwest) corner of the photograph. Several transportation routes and major highways stand out very distinctly. Especially conspicuous are the beltways around the cities, Interstate 95 between Baltimore and the nation's capitol and Interstate 70N leading west from Baltimore. The tunnel and harbor facilities in Baltimore show clearly, also. Identifiable features in the Washington area include the Capitol Building, the Mall area, Robert F. Kennedy Stadium (white circle), the five bridges across the Potomac, Andrews Air Force Base (on east loop), and the smaller Anacostia River. The extent of the urbanization in this area is dramatically illustrated in this picture. The photograph has sufficient resolution that the housing patterns for individual suburban areas are clearly defined with the houses shown as pink gray, wooded areas as dark green and cleared areas light green. Chesapeake Bay circulation patterns are indicated by contrast of dark and light blue. Sediment plumes (red) are seen entering the bay north and east of Baltimore. The bay bridge stands out white against the blue water. The detailed information contained in this one photograph will be of direct use to several EREP investigator teams in land use analysis, sedimentation and circulation patterns in the bay, and resource surveys of Maryland. All EREP photography is available to the public through the Department of Interior's Earth Resources Observations Systems Data Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 57198. Photo credit: NASA

A pass of the International Space Station in the bright moonlight, on the evening of May 31, 2015, with the gibbous Moon to the south at centre. The view is looking south, with the ISS travelling from right (west) to left (east) over several minutes. This was the first pass of a 4-pass night, May 31/June 1, starting at 11:06 pm MDT this evening. Numerous other fainter satellite trails are also visible.
This is a composite stack of 95 exposures, each 2 seconds at f/2.8 with the 14mm lens and ISO 6400 with the Canon 6D. The gaps are from the 1-second interval between exposures. The length of the trails and gaps reflects the changing apparent speed of the ISS as it approaches, passes closest, then flies away.
I stacked the exposures with the Advanced Stacker Actions from StarCIrcleAcademy.com, using the Lighten mode. The ground comes from a Mean blend of just 8 of the exposures to prevent shadows from blurring but to smooth noise.
The Space Station rises out of the northwest in a twilight pass over the Kicking Horse River, in Yoho National Park, BC, on June 7, 2016. I would have caught the start of the pass but this one took me my surprise so I missed the first minute or so.
This is a stack of 3 exposures for the length of trail here, each 10 seconds at f/2.8 with the 20mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 400.
still playing round with the filp image from earlier, but with added kaleidoscope effect......last two from this .

The 2017 class of astronaut candidates are inside the Space Station Processing Facility high bay during a familiarization tour of facilities at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The candidates toured center facilities, including the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building high bay; the Launch Control Center, Launch Pad 39B, and the Vehicle Assembly Building. They also toured Boeing's Commercial Crew and Cargo Facility, United Launch Alliance's Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and SpaceX's Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy. The candidates will spend about two years getting to know the space station systems and learning how to spacewalk, speak Russian, control the International Space Station's robotic arm and fly T-38s, before they're eligible to be assigned to a mission.
