OV-105 (cn OV-105) "Endeavour" is gently carried away at approx. .8 MPH from Pad 39B at sunrise. The convoy of vehicles are providing support to the crawler vehicle. This particular pad was turned over to the Constellation program immediately after thus making this the last shuttle leaving this pad after 28 years of operations. The new 600 foot lightning rods have already been erected and can be seen here. |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) "Endeavour" glides to Earth and is above the runway around the 1500 ft mark at NASA-KSC. Commander Mark Polansky and Pilot Doug Hurley (USMC) had main gear touchdown at 10:48:08 a.m. EDT, nose gear touchdown 10:48:21 a.m. EDT, and wheels stop at 10:49:13 a.m. EDT for a flawless landing. "Roger wheels stopped, Endeavour. Welcome home," was the response from Mission Control. |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) The 12 million pound Space Shuttle System comprising of the orbiter (OV-105),two solid rocket booster and external tank sits on Mobile Launch Platform #2 which is being carried by a crawler vehicle. The crawler uses a laser guidance system and a leveling system to keep the Mobile Launcher Platform level, with the tip of the external tank vertical within plus or minus 10 minutes of arc. Here "Endeavour" is being moved from Pad 39A to Pad 39B (will probably never happen again in the STS program). |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) You are looking at the orbiter "Endeavour" and her three main engines. " The energy released by three of Rocketdyne's Space Shuttle Main engines is equivalent to the output of 13 Hoover Dams." Imagine the power the astronauts sit on top of. She is being positioned for the upcoming STS-127 mission to the International Space Station. |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) "Endeavour" in the launch position approx. 12 days before flight. There are special protective covers on all the windows and RCS nozzles that will be removed before flight. The white blankets (seen here) coating the aircraft are made of coated Nomex felt reusable surface insulation. They are used on the upper payload bay doors, portions of the midfuselage and aft fuselage sides, portions of the upper wing surface and a portion of the OMS/RCS pods for heat exclusion. Note the extreme effects of re-entry. |

OV-105 (cn OV-105) "Endeavour" on the last few hundred meters of her coast to coast piggygback ride. As you can see clearly, the fuselage surfaces of the orbiter and the 747 show a very different appearence. The effects of space flight can be vividly seen on the orbiter while the 747 shows such a polished,clean mirror look. |
