OV-105 (cn OV-105) Last time two space shuttle orbiters meet. "Endeavour" and "Atlantis",her elder sistership, meet tug to tug for final time. This was a special photo op that NASA specially setup to mark the milestone of finishing the mummification of "Endeavour". I can now tick the "preserved" box for her. Next is "Atlantis". |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) This is how it is like to be a wing walker for a space shuttle orbiter movement on Earth. The blue line is for the nose wheel follow line for the orbiters. Soon those blue lines too will be erased as the last vestiges of the Space Transport Systems are dismantled,scrapped,sold or discarded. |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) Space Shuttle Endeavour departs the VAB on the crawler heading for Pad 39A (seen in the distance approx 3.1 miles from here). As she exited the high bay for the last time, the searchlights were trained on to her to light up the stack for the attendees. Normal rollout operations were low key affairs but the last three had workers and their families invited as guests of NASA. The scale of this can be discerned by the people standing at the crawler tracks. Taken from the top of the Launch Control Complex. |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) Standing in the aft of the flight deck of a powered up Space Shuttle Orbiter Endeavour, one is looking at the full set of controls that is used to fly the orbiter when docking with ISS or during certain space maneuvers. The windows on the top or left side are used for visual cues for this purpose. Remember, any axis works in space hence these controls (which would be odd in an Earth bound aircraft). |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) A fisheye camera mounted atop the Mate-Demate Device captured one image every ten minutes for three days as Endeavour was brought in, lifted, lowered and attached to the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. Here, the youngest orbiter is seen at sunset as the lights on the ten-story structure come on. |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) The splendor and beauty of a space shuttle cockpit all powered up! A data package was loaded that mimicked flight by spacecraft operator Bill to show the glass cockpit. Her Attitude Indicator and other systems are being driven hence are showing dynamic output. The two keyboards on the two side of the center console allow control of the multifunction CRT display system. The little toy orbiter marks the removal of the "T handle" that blew pyros for overhead egress. Thanks Bill and Jay! |
