Beautiful Satellite

Really cool photos of the LDEF satellite exterior.

Here’s the story From The Nonist: “This cylindrical object is a roughly school-bus sized structure which was deployed into space in 1984. It orbited the Earth for five and a half years with nothing expected of it other than to float there, getting battered about by whatever the great black yonder saw fit to throw at it. The images … are each of individual sections of the LDEF’s exterior.”
