    An aerial photograph taken from high altitude showing a large vessel navigating through open ocean, surrounded by scattered cloud cover illuminated by low-angle sunlight with reddish-orange tones. The ship appears to be a large naval or commercial vessel, visible as a bright white form against the dark water. The image was likely taken from an aircraft or spacecraft during dawn or dusk conditions.

    Photographic documentation of the Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE) deployment and inflation includes: Views of the SPARTAN satellite in orbit prior to inflation (001-8), inflation sequence begins (009-32), fully inflated IAE over the earth showing the antenna canopy side of the IAE (033-59), edge-on view (060-2), and the antenna reflector side of the IAE (063-140). A camera malfunction caused view 141-63 to overlap one another. Views 042-4 were taken over the Grand Canyon, 058 is over the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado, 094 is over St. Louis, Missouri, 118-9 were taken over the Appalachians and views 126-8 were taken over the Norfolk area.
