There's full RPM and RPM stitches in L2, up to 17mb in size.

why are all the pictures seen of the ISS during STS 122 all upside down to what is normally seen?

I've been searching though the STS-122 photo gallery every day since the RPM and there are only 6 pictures! These are just close-ups of OMS, Columbus and the cockpit.
Why aren't there any images of the whole orbiter like this?:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-120/lores/iss016e006285.jpg
In the STS-120 gallery there are 27 RPM pictures!!
:angry:
I was wondering this. As if i needed another reason to join L2...this just adds to it!

Yeah they are pretty stingy with the photos of Atlantis from the station this time around, a couple of crappy photos from docking and nothing from undocking!

It's not the first mission that this happens (lack of published RPM pictures), but what I found most annoying is how they just "dump" the pictures without any respect for chronological order, thus if you are checking the gallery while the mission is on-going, you have to browse it all to see if there's any new pictures .... instead of just going to the last page of the gallery .... :frown:

The picture in the photo is 39B. Endeavour is at 39A.

I understand that - obviously there is no shuttle at the pad in the linked picture. I'm just wondering if one has surfaced which shows a bird on the pad and one on the strip.

NO, there is no wide-angle pic with Atlantis visible in her
entirety for STS122! Those close-ups are all there are. All the other
missions with a crew aboard the ISS returned good wide-angle
shots EXCEPT STS116. All we have for these two 'missed'
flights is video footage. Remember: the astronauts really don't
care about photography - oh, except for 'tourist' shots of
themselves, which they can't seem to downlink fast enough.
You're frustrated by the absence of such RPM pics? Try being interested in shots from the cabin showing the payload-bay before
what's in it is removed or deployed!

I my opinion it would it call more SAD than BEING ANGRY because of the absense of RPM photos (...and I agree with pargoo...).
And guys, guess what ... although it should be needless to say:
Think about the acronym 'STS'. Its all about Space Transportation, not Space(craft) Photography (they should have been named SPS-122 etc though).
Again, ok, its sad ... but there are so many things to lookout refering to the whole mission/s and I mean, its not fair/acceptable, whatever... being angry about not seing something expected to see, which has never been promised or advised to be seen.
