Views of New Jersey: NASA Shuttle Photography

Since the 1960s, NASA astronauts have been taking aim at New Jersey and other locations around the globe. Today, NASA astronauts continue to monitor changes to the landscape from the NASA Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.

Because the majority of photographs were taken on Shuttle missions, they are usually called Shuttle Photos. This website is meant to serve as an educational tool to supplement laboratory studies in a variety of disciplines, including air photo interpretation, physical geography, geology, ecology, and biology. Because of the nature of these photographs, this site will also serve as a outreach project to introduce the general public to NASA Shuttle Photography over New Jersey.
