"ISS from yesterday passing over at 9:15 in the morning. It passes earlier each day, with its illumination by the Sun shifting from the far side to the front (you might see a very thin flare on the Columbus and Japanese modules on the left). Soon, it will be illuminated on the Earth side as it passes when the Sun is below the horizon. This configuration makes it much brighter and easier to image, but for now it’s very faint and lit by Earthshine.

Eye on the Milky Way

This "eye" on the Milky Way is a Chilean lagoon reflecting our galaxy. The smooth band contains billions of stars, light-absorbing dust, and glowing nebulae. Jupiter and Saturn are also visible.

A true colour satellite image of launch complex 39b. Browned vegetation around the pad can be seen following a little roasting by the SLS rocket earlier in the month.

Blue Origin's launch complex 36 with New Glenn flight 3 on the pad.

Stoke Space's launch complex 14 awaiting its first vehicle, sometime.

I woke up to some new imagery of the Cape in my inbox, so here it is: spacefromspace.com/spaceport-im...

I've been working on my processing scripts. It's still not perfect, but better than the manual processing I was doing before.

power point slide showing the camera locations on the orion spacecraft. For Artemis II, the vehicle-mounted OIS comprises: • 4 Solar Array Wing (SAW) cameras • 3 in-cabin wireless cameras • 3 external wired cameras • 2 human-health monitoring cameras • 2 camera controllers • 1 Fwd Bay high speed camera Other optical systems: • 4 wireless cameras for NatGeo payload (proprietary data) • 4 Portable computing devices (tablets) with webcams • 2 Nikon D5 DSLR camera bodies (+ lenses, batteries, etc.) • 2 ZCube video encoders (prime + spare) • 1 Docking Camera (DCAM) • 1 Optical Navigation (OPNAV) camera • 1 drag-on temp-mount camera to monitor crew ingress (KSC system)

Of course I only found this post-flight, but there is a good presentation of all the camera systems installed on the Artemis II Orion spacecraft. #Artemis
