Description:

ATLAS pallets are backdropped against the Atlas Mountains (31.0N, 1.0W).  
ATLAS is an acronym for ATmospheric Laboratory for Applications and
Science.   Taken from a point over Mali, in the western Sahara, the
northwest looking  view shows dunes in the Iguidi dune sea and colors
characteristic of the  Saharan side of the Atlas Mountains.  The edge of a
large sandstorm, that  transported sand and dust to Yugoslavia and beyond,
can also be seen.
