Some shots from Launch Complex 39B earlier this week 10 years ago as final preparations for the STS-114 Integrated Tanking Test (S0037) was in work. The vehicle is being lit up by the pad stadium lights and powerful xenon lights stationed around the perimeter of the pad.

I have a low end laptop running Kubuntu (I'm writing this from that system right now) and I'm wondering how Orbiter will run on it with D3D9 :hmm: Lets check that out tomorrow :)
 
While running Orbiter in KDE, I had some small problems, I could solve activating the "Window with taskbar" option.
I'll try to start from scratch a Orbiter installation, in PlayOnLinux that allows to shape a virtual drive according to our needs. I think that will be able to solve the (few incompatibilities) that currently if Orbiter is installed in Wine (at least according to my guide).
 
Edit:Does anybody know why when I post my image from .JPG to my OF album it loses quality?
:hailprobe:

If the image size is above some limit, the forum will resize the image automatically, and it does no do a very good job.

Having a bit of fun with creating alternate history scenarios, with an extended production of Saturn Vs for additional scientific-oriented J-missions. In this instance, a post-Apollo 20 sortie mission with 4 to 5 surface EVAs is seen landed in Sinus Iridum, the "Bay of Rainbows", at the northwest limb of Mare Imbrium. The LM is located about 14 km (9 mi) north of the cape-like landform Promontorium Heraclides--the south-eastern tip of Iridum (i.e. Cassini's "Moon Maiden"). The mountains in the background, the Montes Jura front, are about 40 km (25 mi) distant and form the western rim of the impact crater that was Sinus Iridum until its ancient flooding by basaltic lavas.

This site is very close to the location of the default Brighton Beach base which is, of course, absent from this scenario. I used t1234's visually pleasing [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6742"]Sinus Iridum[/ame] add-on with AMSO surface tiles in crafting this scenario.

Morning climb to orbit with a Falcon 9R v1.1.


I wish orbiter did shadows for particle streams and exhast but maybe I'm asking too much...


Shuttle final approach.

These are both raw images.:tiphat:
