NASA Television will show photographs of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath taken from the International Space Station, along with the station's latest video of Hurricane Ophelia, today at 4 p.m. EDT. The images and video will also be shown during NASA TV's Video File segments starting at 6 p.m. EDT.

The photos of Katrina's toll on New Orleans and the surrounding area, including the Michoud Assembly Facility where the space shuttle's external fuel tanks are made, were taken last week. Astronaut John Phillips aboard the station used a digital camera to take the pictures from an altitude of 220 miles. They will be available on the Internet at:
