The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum received on Wednesday the two IMAX cameras that flew on 17 space shuttle missions between 1984 and 1998. Together, the in-cabin and cargo bay cameras captured scenes for six films, including "The Dream is Alive," "Blue Planet" and "Mission to Mir." IMAX producer Toni Myers told collectSPACE that the donation didn't mean the end of IMAX in space. "I have no intention of stopping trying to make space films," Myers said. "They just won't be filmed on 65 millimeter negatives any more."
