Observing Earth is an important job of the Space Shuttle. Space Shuttle missions have contributed to archaeology (one mission discovered long-lost ancient cities under the desert in the Middle East), meteorology (tracking hurricane and predicting weather patterns), and geology (detecting mineral deposits). This beautiful four-color poster of the Space Shuttle flight deck is printed on high-quality, heavy-duty coated paper to reduce tearing or creasing, with an ultraviolet coating that inhibits fading. Measures 24" x 36".
