Image Fortress Launches Online Archive of World's Space Exploration Imagery

Website Commemorates 40th Anniversary of Historic Apollo 8 Mission

WESTFORD, Mass., Dec. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Image Fortress today announced that
it has launched the International Space Archives, an online digital library
(www.internationalspacearchives.com) organizing the vast collections of still
and video imagery produced by the manned and unmanned space programs of the
world. Over the past fifty years, the space programs in the United States and
other countries have amassed extensive volumes of still and motion picture
photography that has been largely inaccessible to the public. The
International Space Archives has been designed to make this incredible
collection of imagery available to a worldwide audience.

"The International Space Archives is bringing together, for the first time,
the best of the still and video imagery produced by these space exploration
programs in one comprehensive, well-organized collection," according to
Stewart Cheifet, president of the Media Division of Image Fortress. "The
photos, films and videos in the archive are coming from a variety of sources
including NASA and the space programs of Russia, Japan, China, India, the
European Union, and others. Also included in the archives will be the new
imagery produced by both the national space programs and the various private
space programs that are emerging to allow private citizens to experience the
wonder and excitement of space travel."

"As NASA completes its 50th anniversary celebration in 2008 and commemorates
the 40th anniversary of the historic Apollo 8 manned mission to the moon, it
is fitting to launch this online archive designed to preserve and make easily
accessible to a worldwide audience the incredible visual history of space
exploration," said Cheifet.

The International Space Archives will include photos, films, and videos from
the more than forty countries that have space exploration and research
programs, adding still and video imagery from these programs on a daily basis.
The International Space Archives is located on the Web at
www.internationalspacearchives.com.
