I apologized if this has been bounced around before, but is the image, generated at Mission control, that shows the shuttle and its position relative to the world computer generated or is some kind of projection? We have seen it on Space Select and were curious. Thanks in advance Another message from Joseph Lucas xvm@mentor.cc.purdue.edu

They are currently redoing the computers to provide for real-time computer graphics.
