The need to record images during manned spaceflight has given us some
of the most enduring images of the last century. This continues today
with the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. Orbiting
a few hundred kilometres above the Earth, astronauts are in a prime
position to photograph the Earth: its oceans, its land and its clouds.
Most images are shot on Hasselblad and Nikon cameras, although other
formats are used for special purposes. Some targets are chosen before
flight, others such as volcanic eruptions are chance events.
