The US space agency NASA has launched a free online gallery featuring photographs and video of missions throughout its 40-year history.

The www.nasaimages.org website will eventually contain millions of photographs.

The gallery will cover all of NASA's activities from the moon landings to images from the Hubble space telescope and photographs of experimental aircraft.

Anybody can have those images at any time. They are available via NASA’s website, but it takes some know-how to get to them. They have been scanning them for years and years. Hubby says, “The agreement with www.archive.org is just a bunch of government BS because anybody can do this on their own.”

It is amazing what materials are out there for perusal. And then there are all the materials that NASA has lost that individuals (astronauts and engineers) have in their own filing cabinets.

Well I’ve been running around the NASA sight for years, and I never ran into them. If so, that’s great. I just wish more of us knew how to find them all.

I do know some of NASA’s photos were available from recent years, but I’ve never found a ‘treasure-trove’ over there.

It is amazing what you can find. I appreciate the posts.

Hubby says you can get the radio transmissions from the international space station if you dig for it. “It’s out there.” I don’t know about video. Hubby often puts the live feeds from the space shuttle missions on our computer. It drives me crazy because I can’t stand the voice(s) of the folks in Houston who often narrate what is going on.

Until a few months ago, we did not know how much NASA has available via its website. But it really does take someone knowing how to dig through it to get to everything because their Search feature is very limited. http://ntrs.nasa.gov is the site that gets you to technical reports. Within the site is NTRS and NIX archives. I’m lost here in hubby’s explanation to me. But the point is that from that website, you can get to all this stuff. Hubby says it’s a mess, however. “The metadata is awful.” He’s full of technical lingo. heh. Anywho, he’s working with a bunch of retired NASA folks doing this and that with the new lunar landing program. Their website is www.lunarlanding.info.

In my opinion pictures from Hubble should have been widely available all along.
