OV-103 (cn OV-103) In this rare look inside shuttle processing, final preps are underway for the payload bay doors to be closed on Discovery inside the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) in preparation for its final mission, STS-133. They will be opened one more time after this, on the launch pad when the payload is installed. In the foreground is the Ku-band antenna, with one of the two robotic arms stretching behind it. The shiny interior surface of the doors are radiator panels for dispersing heat. |

OV-104 (cn OV-104) Shuttle Atlantis sits on Launch Pad 39A (foreground) with Endeavour in the background, in preparation for STS-125, the final mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. Endeavour is to be ready to launch as a rescue shuttle within one week of Atlantis, as this is the only post-Columbia shuttle mission not going to the space station. It is the last planned time two shuttles will occupy the pads at the same time, and only the third time ever both are visible with launch towers retracted. |

D359 Sitting atop Space Launch Complex 6 at Vandenberg AFB, A Delta 4 rocket is about to send a classified satellite into orbit for the National Reconnaissance Office. SLC-6 was built in the 1960s for the military Manned Orbiting Laboratory missions (caneled), then transformed in the early 1980s into the West Coast space shuttle launch site, a program terminated after the Challenger accident in 1986. It saw a first launch of any kind, finally, in the 90s with 3/4 failed Athena rockets, and finally D4 in 2005. |
