Earth observations taken during STS-77 mission

STS077-713-010 (19-29 May 1996) --- Like a number of Shuttle flight crews that preceded them, the members of the crew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour made eastern Florida one of their photographic targets. Both launch and landing sites are visible in the image. The Space Shuttle runway is at center. Above and to the left, along the coast, are the two main launch pads for the STS program. A road connecting the launch pads to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) can be easily delineated. The Visitors Center for Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is above and to the right of the VAB. Above the Visitors Center is the NASA Causeway. Small white dots from the lower left and extending to the right corner outline the Intracoastal Waterway. The city of Cocoa Beach extends along the coast at the upper right. A small boat can be seen as a white dot to the right of Cape Canaveral with a distinctive ?V? shaped wake trailing behind.
