To obtain the panoramas seen on the tour, a series of photographs were taken at each location in the orbiter and payload. The photographs were then scanned and stitched together using a stitching software package. Each result was then "cleaned up" in an imaging program, taking away imperfections present in the final stitch.

After the final panorama was ready, it was reduced in size and compressed into a JPeg image to make it bandwidth friendly for the web. Finally, the panoramas were inserted into the proper location on the web page.
