PART 1: XR2 Wideawake to Brighton Beach Tutorial (Intro / Pre-Lanch)

PART 1 of 7. This is a 7 part, full feature ORBITER 2010-P1 tutorial! We start from the ground at Wideawake International in the XR2 Ravenstar. I will show you how to prepare for launch, take-off, and fly the XR2 to the Moon with a landing on pad 1 at Brighton Beach. We have a crew habitat module loaded in the cargo bay, along with some extra main fuel. We will discard the extra main fuel container before ejecting LEO for the Moon. *DOWNLOAD the scenarios here: www.orbiter-forum.com

Emergency shuttle landing

While the space shuttle can not land on convensional runways, this animated simulation shows what it would look like if it were to succesfuly land at the Moffett Field air base, in California. The three people at the end are friends who volunteered for the test effect of watching the CG shuttle pull up to them. That was shot on the Moffett Air station tarmac, next to the control tower. At the time the video was uploaded, Youtube had not yet supported 1080P, so it was rendered in low-def. A high-def clip of it can be seen on my channel's show-reel. Like to hear from anyone who is or has visited the International Space Station. Special thanks goes to Mark Pierceall, Glenna Pierceall and Bev Gomez. 3-D models in the video are available for download at TurrboSquid www.turbosquid.com Visit my website at www.cestcop.com

STS-133: Shuttle Discovery attached to External Tank and Boosters

Space shuttle Discovery now is fully attached to its external fuel tank and two solid rocket boosters. The final process known as "hardmate" was complete at 9:27 am EDT. Technicians resolved an issue with a main separation bold nut early Saturday morning that held up mate operations for almost a day. The nut slipped back into Discovery's aft compartment Friday morning as technicians were attaching the left-side main separation bolt on the bottom of the shuttle to the external tank in NASA Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building in Florida. The right-side bolt already had been attached. No hardware was damage in the incident. After thoroughly evaluating the situation and developing a plan to fix the problem, technicians put up several platforms Friday night and used them to enter Discovery's aft section through an access door. They then moved the nut back into position and finished attaching the bold, which is used to separate Discovery from the external tank once the shuttle is in orbit. Discovery still is on track to be rolled out to Launch Pad 39A as scheduled on Sept. 20. The shuttle and its six astronaut crew are targeted to launch on the STS-133 mission with supplies and a new module for the International Space Station on Nov. 1.

Buran energia launch ( Soviet Shuttle program )

unmanned test flight of Buran, 1.01 The Russian Space Shuttle, at 03:00 hours UT on 15 November 1988. The stack employed a specially modified Energia booster. This, the only flight of Buran, was 206 minutes (two orbits) in duration and ended with the landing of the orbiter at Baikonur Cosmodrome. A second flight may have been scheduled for 1993 but never occured as the Buran program had been cancelled prior to this time.

Space Shuttle Atlantis Endeavour STS-118 08 August 2008 HD

Video Courtesy NASA www.nasa.gov STS-118 was a space shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Endeavour. STS-118 successfully lifted off on August 8, 2007 from launch pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida and landed at the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC on August 21, 2007. It was the first flight of Endeavour since the STS-113 mission in November 2002, which was the last successful Space Shuttle flight before the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia on STS-107. STS-118 pilot Charles Hobaugh had been the entry team CAPCOM for STS-107. Had the Columbia not disintegrated, it would have been chosen for this mission, which would have been its 29th mission, and probably its only mission to the ISS. The mission is also referred to as ISS-13A.1 by the ISS program. The mission added two more components to the International Space Station as well as bringing supplies for its crew. The completion of the mission left twelve flights remaining in the Space Shuttle program until its end in 2010, excluding two as-yet-unconfirmed Contingency Logistic Flights. During and after the mission, the media focused heavily on a small puncture in the heat shield, created by a piece of insulation foam that came off the external tank of Endeavour during liftoff. Foam impact was the cause of the destruction of Space Shuttle Columbia, but the extent of damage was very small in comparison and in a less critical area. KSC Launch Director Michael D. Leinbach ...
