About a week after liftoff, the twin spacecraft of NASA's ESCAPADE mission returned their first images as they journey away from Earth. On November 21, one of the two spacecraft used its Visible and Infrared Observation System - developed at Northern Arizona University - to photograph the edge of a solar panel.
