Orbital Planes: A Personal Vision of the Space Shuttle is Roland
Miller's intimate photographic view of the Space Shuttle Program. A
unique collection of imagery, the book explores the Space Shuttle
orbiters-both inside and out-along with related facilities
including rocket engine test sites, Solid Rocket Booster and
External Tank manufacturing facilities, orbiter manufacturing and
maintenance facilities, launch sites, and more. Miller photographed
the Space Shuttle starting in 1988. He began his focused work for
Orbital Planes in 2008 and continued for the duration of the Space
Shuttle Program through the decommissioning of the orbiters.
Orbital Planes is part artistic invention, part space archaeology,
and part historic documentation. Through a combination of
documentary and abstract photographs made around the United States,
Orbital Planes tells an expansive story of the Space Shuttle
Program in a visually arresting style. Detailed imagery describes
the distinctive design and engineering of these spacecraft and the
facilities where they were maintained and launched. The drama and
danger of spaceflight are seen in the wear and tear visible on the
Space Shuttle orbiters. The book also chronicles the story of
Miller's interactions with Space Shuttle workers and the impacts of
the Challenger and Columbia accidents.
