Look at post #269, above. It looks like I was correct about being skeptical both about the limits of resolution as well as whether they would be able to capture the low contrast features like that of the wing. The picture appears, at first glance, to be of the re-entering orbiter, but in reality, all they captured was its
silhouette. And the resolution appears to be about 4-5 arc seconds (or about 4-5 feet at that altitude). Still, that is a pretty remarkable accomplishment!
