I remember when these sorts of Shuttle imaging overflights were leading to all sorts of new findings such as deserts that showed river valleys and prior moist environments under the sands, lost caravan tracks to biblical trade centers, etc. Neat stuff! Great lot for space shuttle enthusiasts, collectors of NASA or JPL space missions, and for those involved with the imaging of our Earth from space! AS01
