Earth observations taken during the STS-103 mission
STS103-728-035 (19-27 December 1999) --- One of the astronauts aboard the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Discovery used a handheld 70mm camera to photograph this scene of the Kennedy Space Center, Florida and its environs. The old launch pads dot the "V" shaped land (Cape Canaveral) along the coast. On Merritt Island the Shuttle launch pads and runway are visible. The large city surrounded by circular lakes to the west of Cape Canaveral is Orlando.
