Celebrated NASA astronaut, pilot of the space shuttle Endeavour, and
crew member on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, Terry Virts also spent
200 consecutive days in space as commander of the International Space
Station –one of the longest continuous space mission of any NASA
astronaut.
More recently, Terry appeared in the 2016 IMAX fi lm A Beautiful Planet,
a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space that features stunning footage
– much of it shot by Terry while aboard (and outside) the International
Space Station – of our magnifi cent blue planet, and humanity’s impact
on it. His photography, which provides incredible aerial views of Earth
and the vast space that surrounds it, will be featured in a new National
Geographic book, View From Above, released in October 2017.
The taking of photographs and/or use of other recording equipment is strictly prohibited.
