Earth observations taken during STS-74 mission
STS074-714-002 (12-20 Nov 1995) --- The late fall season is tell-tale in this nadir view of Calgary, Alberta, Canada as photographed from the Space Shuttle Atlantis. The ground cover makes it easier to identify geographic and man-made features in the scene. A gateway to the Canadian Rocky Mountains (lower left corner of the photo), Calgary, with a 1994 population listed at 710,677 is noted for its livestock and summer rodeos. It is located on the Bow River, easily traced as it meanders through the city. The Calgary International Airport is easily seen north east of the city.
