Unity-Zarya-Zvezda STS-106


An absolutely stunning image of the ISS at the first point at which it was able to sustain a permanent crew (with the arrival of the station's service module). The image is extremely useful for displaying the early modules of the station (in addition to one of the station's docking locations with the Progress at the bottom), and shows beautifully the influence Mir had on the ISS - the two Russian modules in the image were based on components from that station. As such, the image is used in several articles, including International Space Station, Shuttle-Mir Program, Mir, Zvezda (ISS) and Progress spacecraft, and would also be suitable for use on the Unity Module and Zarya articles. The image was taken by the crew of Space Shuttle Atlantis during STS-106, and as such is public domain as a NASA image.

However, the image unfortunately suffers from a fair amount of noise, and I'm not sure how to go about getting rid of that, hence putting it forward for peer review before nominating it as a Featured Image. Any feedback would be much appreciated! Colds7ream (talk)

 * It looks to me to have already been selectively tweaked for noise, such that the remaining fine detail would be lost altogether if any futher NR was applied. As NASA shots go it's not really of outstanding quality, albeit an extremely valuable addition to the encyclopedia, largely due to image (mis)processing, I think. --mikaultalk 16:49, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
