Anybody else notice there were no shots of the shuttle
approaching ISS, showing the vehicle in its entirety? A contact at
JSC dismissed my complaint as follows:

The ISS crew are sent schematics that show the specific photos that
are required by the engineers on the ground to look for damage. These
photos are taken with several different types of camera and lens. The
extreme HiRes engineering photos showing the tiles don't end up on HSF
because they are for the engineers not the general public. The photos
taken during approach are to look for damage so as to insure crew
safety they are not "pretty" shots taken for the public.

Best I can suggest, if you can't get it any other way, is to file a
Freedom Of Information Act request which WILL get looked at and
processed. NASA may grant it or they may deny it, but they are legally
required to respond.

NASA is required by federal law to provide the initial response
confirming granting or denying of request within 20 working days. It
also may take some more time (and possibly some money to cover expenses
incurred) to dig up material if granted.

That website has more information about how the FOIA is implemented at
NASA, as well as a link to the request form that you can fill out
online.
