Creator notes
What works here
Independence Plaza shuttle-on-747 is the marquee shot — wide angle from the southeast catches the full silhouette. Rocket Park is free to enter, separate from the ticketed museum. Drones are banned within several miles of JSC.
Practical
Plan the shoot
Best time
Late afternoon for the shuttle exterior
Lighting
Open sky; shuttle white paint reflects hard at midday, glows orange at sunset.
