EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring liftoff of Space Shuttle Atlantis on its STS-27 mission. On December 2,1988, at precisely 9:30 a. m. EST, this magnificent spacecraft embarked on a classified journey dedicated to the Department of Defense (DoD). The sheer power and force behind this momentous event are evident as Atlantis soars into the vastness of space. With an astonishing thrust generated by its three main engines, totaling an astounding 375,000 pounds, Atlantis defies gravity and propels itself towards the unknown. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of exploration beyond Earth's boundaries. The STS-27 mission holds secrets known only to those entrusted with safeguarding our nation's defense interests. As Atlantis gracefully completes its clandestine objectives in orbit, it leaves us pondering the mysteries that lie beyond our reach. Days later, on December 6th at precisely 3:36 p. m. PST, Orbiter Atlantis returns home safely to Edwards Air Force Base in California. Its triumphant landing marks not only the successful completion of another remarkable mission but also showcases humanity's ability to conquer challenges that were once deemed impossible. This extraordinary photograph immortalizes a pivotal moment in history when science merges with national security objectives. It reminds us that even amidst classified missions shrouded in secrecy; there is still room for wonderment and admiration for mankind's achievements in space exploration.
