EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when the Space Shuttle Discovery embarked on its remarkable journey during Mission STS-64. On September 9,1994, at precisely 6:22:35 p. m. EDT, this iconic spacecraft soared skyward from Launch Pad 39B with an air of anticipation and excitement. Commander Richard N. Richards led a crew of six incredible individuals who were about to embark on a groundbreaking mission. Alongside him was Pilot L. Blaine Hammond Jr. , as well as Mission Specialists Mark C. Lee, Carl J. Meade, Susan J. Helms, and Dr. J. M Linenger – all prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. The payload for this extraordinary flight included three significant experiments that would contribute to our understanding of space exploration and research advancements: the Lidar InSpace Technology Experiment (LITE), the Shuttle Pointed Autonomous Research Tool for Astronomy 201 (SPARTAN201), and the Robot Operated Processing System (ROMPS). Adding even more intrigue to this historic launch was the scheduled extravehicular activity by Mission Specialists Lee and Meade during this milestone 64th Shuttle mission. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Space Images, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's boundaries – pushing boundaries in science and technology while venturing into uncharted territories above us.
