I'm sorry if this is old news, but our notes system has been down
for the better part of a month after the changeover to BSD 4.2.
At a visit to the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. last
month I learned that 14 astronauts are being trained to operate
IMAX cameras which are being carried on three shuttle missions
this year. The film, which is being advertised as being
"shot on location" will open at the Air and Space Museum in the
summer of 1985.
The June 18, 1984 Aviation Week lists IMAX as a primary mission
element on mission 41D scheduled for launch June 25:
"Cinema 360/IMAX - Both the Cinema 360 camera system
designed to provide movies on a domed screen and the
IMAX 70-mm. camera system for a new movie for the
Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space
Museum will be used on the flight."
