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-104 (cn OV-104) Fireworks explode over Atlantis, marking the end of the space shuttle program! The final event ever saw Atlantis towed down the street to the KSC Visitors Complex and its new $100 million museum home. |

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-104 (cn OV-104) Space shuttle orbiter Atlantis moves from its processing hangar, Orbiter Processing Facility 2 (OPF-2) to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) for the final time on Oct. 17th. In this picture, one can see OPF#3 (used to be the favorite hangar for Discovery) and Crawler #2. The last mobile launch platform used by a shuttle (Atlantis) and the new launch platform is towards the top. Bottom right is the scrapping of the Apollo/shuttle era support platforms in progress. The circling vulture is fitting. |

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-104 (cn OV-104) The last space shuttle movement ever in progress at dawn. Atlantis on her 10 mile trek from the VAB to the KSC visitor center for her final display. It was rather odd to see the move handled by a local construction company as oppossed to the regular NASA/USA orbiter crew. A sad day for me and the end of a 11 year career chasing shuttles. |
